You never know. Perl comes up with smarter and smarter optimizations all 
the time. Perhaps if the same benchmark were run on Perl 5.003 you would 
get a different result.

eg I think there was a thread on this list way back about OO method calls 
versus direct package references... and people said that OO method calls 
have a lot of overhead, but I think in later versions of Perl, OO method 
call paths are cached(?) and so method calls no longer have the same 
overhead as they used to.

Later,
