Variables with side-effects +which get triggered just by accessing them (like \f(CW$0\fR) will still +be affected. +.PP +For those variables that have an \fBawk\fR version, both long +and short English alternatives are provided. For example, +the \f(CW$/\fR variable can be referred to either \f(CW$RS\fR or +\&\f(CW$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR\fR if you are using the English module. +.PP +See perlvar for a complete list of these. +.SH PERFORMANCE +.IX Header "PERFORMANCE" +NOTE: This was fixed in perl 5.20. Mentioning these three variables no +longer makes a speed difference. This section still applies if your code +is to run on perl 5.18 or earlier. +.PP +This module can provoke sizeable inefficiencies for regular expressions, +due to unfortunate implementation details. If performance matters in +your application and you don't need \f(CW$PREMATCH\fR, \f(CW$MATCH\fR, or \f(CW$POSTMATCH\fR, +try doing +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& use English qw( \-no_match_vars ) ; +.Ve +.PP +\&. \fBIt is especially important to do this in modules to avoid penalizing +all applications which use them.\fR |
