slash-i now seems to be faster:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Benchmark;
our $s = "A" x 1024;
timethese(1_000_000, {
'slash i' => sub { $s =~ /a/i; $s =~ /b/i; },
'brackets' => sub { $s =~ /[Aa]/; $s =~ /[Bb]/; },
});
produces:
Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of brackets, slash i...
brackets: 24 wallclock secs (24.20 usr + 0.00 sys = 24.20 CPU)
@ 41322.31/s (n=1000000)
slash i: 14 wallclock secs (13.47 usr + 0.00 sys = 13.47 CPU)
@ 74239.05/s (n=1000000)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
