This benchmark code also includes the creation of a lexical scalar as well as assignment to it. The benchmark would be slightly more accurate (and slightly faster) if the lexical were defined outside the loop and used inside. (However, I doubt the speed difference would be significant.)

I would agree with zwon in preferring the 'temp var' approach.
