Just a few random quotes, attached to this message for no particular reason. I really must learn how to start a new thread ;-) Rules of Optimization: Rule 1: Don't do it. Rule 2 (for experts only): Don't do it yet. - M. A. Jackson "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil." - Donald Knuth "More computing sins are committed in the name of efficiency (without necessarily achieving it) than for any other single reason - including blind stupidity." - W. A. Wulf [ Yes, Knuth was quoting Hoare. ] (However, it would seem that in general the best way to optimise Perl code is to minimise the number of ops.) -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
