  Nice, you never know when these kind of micro-optmizations might come in handy....

  See my blog post on the subject for my suggestion as to what to pick.

  Yes Jenda, these clearly look like dead projects to me. You’re talking out of your ass. As for your opinion that this supposed failure of the effort entitles you to give the people who are working on it a public “fuck you”, how about a nice big cup of shut-the-hell-up.

  Thank you.

  I'd like to see some details about the kind of time that is saved using tricks like this.

  You don't need Quote::Code:

  say "2 + 2 = @{[2 + 2]}"; # "2 + 2 = 4"

  That has worked in perl5 for quite a while—I think the newest feature used there is "say".

  The problems with @{[ ]} are that it looks quite clunky, it's inefficient at runtime (it builds and dereferences an arrayref), it evaluates its contents in list context, and it gets really confusing if you need (nested) quotes in the interpolated part.
