cshirky has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am looping through lotsa data, looking for lines that contain email addresses.

The current match is

if ( /\@/ ) { &Frobnitz($_); }
Would front anchoring a single char match, as in
if ( /^.*\@/ ) { &Frobnitz($_); }
be faster?

Tusen tak,
