How can perl know the extent of of the arrays? I can see from looking at a sample optree that the size of the input array can be known at compile time. I can also see sometimes sort's function can be known to be "simple" and won't increase the extent of the array. Lastly, I can also see that the expression used by the outer, unpacking map is simple. If I thought this were an interesting thing to chase down I'd probably go write some prolog to match stuff in our optree and if we were lisp instead of perl I'd write a macro to automatically optimize the code. We're not and we won't get that goodness til Perl 6 so it'd be a waste to do this to Perl 5.

  • 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).
