You're not testing what you claim you're testing: you're testing creating and accessing an an anonymous hash vs only accessing a named hash. You're also reading the result the wrong way 'round.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw(cmpthese);
cmpthese(-10, {
'anon' => sub { for my $x (qw(a b a b a b)) { my $y = { 'a' => 'A'
+, 'b' => 'B'}->{$x}; }},
'named' => sub { for my $x (qw(a b a b a b)) { my $h = { 'a' => 'A
+', 'b' => 'B'}; my $y = $h->{$x}; }},
});
output:
Rate named anon
named 78120/s -- -8%
anon 84539/s 8% --
Meaning that using an anonymous (not stored) hash is just a bit faster. Not very interesting, considering you almost always want to reuse a hash you've just created.

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).
