replying and including missing words from
my original post:
...
"The above the use of the 'study' perl
command, as well as it case insensitive regexes cause memory allocation over and
over again."
I meant : the 'study command' can't be used
because the study command can only be applied to a single scalar at a time. It
is recommended that if you have a series of regexes, all being applied to the
same string that 'study' might then yield some improvement in
speed.
Also I believe /i (case insensitve) regexes
are applied by lcing the regex (probably duing the compile phase) and then
everytime it is applied to the string, the string is lower cased as
well/.
....
Sheesh I need to start proofreading my posts more carefully.
thanks
