There is more than one way to do it in Perl [tm]. Which one is more
efficient depends on many things. You can set up a test bench and run each
implementation on it and measure time or something else if you really want
to know. The VB version uses at least an array of pointers of thes size of
the input array but it does not tell you about it.
