fionbarr:

If one way were better in all ways, then we wouldn't need more than one way to do the job. So it depends on how you measure better. But without telling us how you plan to measure "better", there's no way we can give you a reasonable answer. Typical measures are: which is faster for task X? which takes less space when doing Y? which has the simpler API? which provides the most flexibility? etc...

Update: It's kind of like asking "which is better: butterscotch pudding or watermelon Jello?" There's no way I can tell you which is better for you, but I can tell you that for me, watermelon Jello is the "best". (I can't stand butterscotch pudding.)

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.
