The pipes() and regexpa() functions used in the timing loops above both include generation of the matching regexes in each loop execution. I doubt it adds greatly to the overall execution time, but is it proper to include regex generation in the timing of a substitution operation?
On a more critical note, a substitution is done on the $s string in each repetition of each timing loop, but will there be anything to be found for substitution after the first pass of whatever timing function happens to be executed first? Are not all subsequent passes in all functions just comparing the time it takes for a regex to find no match in a string? (Maybe take the 8MB file content and x it into three identical 200 - 500MB strings and do just one comparison pass of substitutions on each string.)

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).
