As always, Benchmark.pm is your friend for speed comparisons. Memory is
no longer misused with map in void context, so make a choice according
to your personal preferences.
Write the code like you are going to lose your memory in six months.
Which is more effective? The method you are most likely to remember when
you have to maintain the code.
BTW, only optimize your code if your manager says it's too slow.
Understanding what you wrote is more important than speed.
