NAME
Acme::SvGROW - syntax for pre-extending a string's storage, like the proposed use of length as an L-value
SYNOPSIS
use Acme::SvGROW;
SvGrow($BigString, 100000);
# when l-value subroutines are available (5.8 and later)
SvGrow($BigString, 100000) = InitialValueOfBigString();DESCRIPTION
Trivial module implementing string storage preallocation using techniques shared on perl5-porters mailing list November 4 and 5, 2009
EXPORT
the SvGROW subroutine is exported. It takes two arguments, the first the string to extend and the second the length.
SEE ALSO
Data::Peek for a benchmarking of the alternatives
The author of this module is in favor of allowing length to be used as an lvalue to thinly invoke the SvGROW internals macro
