Picking your syntax based on benchmarks of trivial operations is total folly.

Use map if you want to get back a list. Don't otherwise.

Now, there can be non-trivial performance implications in similar syntax choices between for() and while() when reading from a (large) file, for example. But you also likely would not discover those from running benchmarks of trivial operations.

The benchmark results presented so far mostly illustrate differences in the trivial operations being done, not any performance difference that is likely to actually matter if you were changing useful code between map/for() [for cases of code where for() made sense].

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.
