Is it a premature micro-optimization which is unlikely to have anything but a negligible impact the vast majority of real world code? Yes.

No, its called style :)

map, grep, sort, s{}{...}e don't allow you to use return, they force you to use implicit return

explicit return isn't required in do/eval/sub

return tells you about this

so unless you're coding something recursive, something that requires short circuiting, most perlish perl programmers omit the explicit return, and use the implicit return

If explicit return costs more (I'll take BrowserUk's word that it does), its a problem with the implementation, something for p5p to fix, same as they did for map in void context

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
