Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of doubleLoop, dullWay, pushList... doubleLoop: 242130.75/s (n=1000000) # $hash->{key} dullWay: 238663.48/s (n=1000000) # $hash{$key} which is not what I had expected ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
