No "patterns" in his Java... (Score:1)

by clintp (2) on 2002.09.16 9:18 (#12868)

Except that he's not really pattern matching. He's using Java's index-like method. And he's "unrolled" his loops within the read-loop.

His perl is idiomatic (except for the spurious =~'s) and looks just like any novice would have written it.

If I had enough data I might take a crack at unrolling it and making it quicker. Like any "benchmark" though, the code can *always* be manipulated to favor one over the other.
