This got me to thinking so I took your original code and made a few modifications just to see what it would do.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Benchmark("cmpthese");

my $i = 1;

cmpthese(-1, {
   "double", q !eval q {$a = "this is a string $i"}!,
   'single', q !eval q {$b = 'this is a string $i'}!,
});

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.
