The three variables $&, $`, and $' are known to have a performance penalty for all regex matches in an application. TWiki is doing a lot of regexes, so these should be eliminated though it will be difficult to actually measure the effect on a single regex.

Grepping through a SVN area brought a couple of candidates (not necessarily complete since grepping for $' had too many false positives, so I ignored it):

  • lib/TWiki/Configure/UI.pm - maybe irrelevant unless run under mod_perl DONE
  • lib/TWiki/Configure/Types/REGEX.pm - maybe irrelevant unless run under mod_perl DONE
  • lib/TWiki.pm - should be fixed (one line only) DONE
  • twikiplugins/LatexModePlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/LatexModePlugin/Parse.pm - several occurrences. Patch suggested at TWiki:Plugins.LatexModePluginDev, I lack any possibility to test it. (suggestion implemented - 11681.) DONE
  • twikiplugins/NatSkinPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/NatSkinPlugin/Search.pm - one line containing $& DONE
  • twikiplugins/SectionalEditPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/SectionalEditPlugin.pm - several occurrences. Too complicated for my simple brain right now. No
  • twikiplugins/AliasPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/AliasPlugin.pm - one line containing $& DONE
  • twikiplugins/PerlDocPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/PerlDocPlugin.pm - one line containing both $& and $` DONE
  • twikiplugins/DBCachePlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/DBCachePlugin/Core.pm - two occurrences of $& DONE
  • twikiplugins/ExternalLinkPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/ExternalLinkPlugin.pm - one line containing $& DONE
  • twikiplugins/TouchGraphPlugin/bin/tgdb - one line containing $& DONE
  • twikiplugins/GoogleSearchPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/GoogleSearchPlugin.pm - two occurrences of $& DONE
  • twikiplugins/PhantomPlugin/lib/TWiki/Plugins/PhantomPlugin.pm - has both $` and $' Apparently untested on TWiki 4 No
