In general closures have a lot higher overhead. Instead
of storing a scalar variable as a hash entry, you are
storing a reference to a CV structure, which points
to a pad list which points to a padname list (containing
the name of the lexical), and a pad containing a pointer to
the lexicial plus pointers to other pad targets if there
are any ops in the sub.
goto &f has roughly the same overhead
as a normal exit from a sub followed by a call to another
sub; ie the following two are roughly equivalent
performance-wise:
sub f { ...; goto &g } sub g { ...} f();
sub f { ...; } sub g { ...} f(); g();

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).
