Your object method calls are slower because the add on ISA lookup/maintenance (just because it is a method), a variable dereference and a hash lookup. The base closure is just a function and postincrement. It makes sense for one to be slower, both perform the same task, one has to do a bit more janitorial work. Consider though, that your closure might be heavier in memory requirements. Does any of this really matter? Probably not. This is not the sort of thing I worry about. Generally my decision on how to organize my data is driven by other requirements than method call overhead. In fact, it always is. Except for once when I was doing a really, really big batch job. Then I used plain functions.

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).
