Optimize Perl

Martin C. Brown shows how to optimize Perl code on IBM developerWorks. "Perl is an incredibly flexible language, but its ease of use can lead to some sloppy and lazy programming habits. We're all guilty of them, but there are some quick steps you can take to improve the performance of your Perl applications. In this article, I'll look at the key areas of optimization, which solutions work and which don't, and how to continue to build and extend your applications with optimization and speed in mind."
