Need Help??

The former compiles to a much smaller op tree than the latter:

perl -MO=Concise -e'delete @hash1{keys %hash2}'
perl -MO=Concise -e'delete $hash1{$_} for keys %hash2'

On my machine, the slice performs about 20% faster than the loop.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

The slice option only calls `delete` once. It also doesn't have to go the trouble of assigning `$_` for each element. So that makes sense. When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct? --Larry Wall	[reply] [d/l] [select]
