Subject: Data::FormValidator::Results uses $& and $`
I just ran Devel::NYTProf on one of my programs and discovered a warning about Data::FormValidator::Results because it uses the evil variables $& and $` which slow the whole program down. <http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq6.html#Why-does-using-$&,-$%60,-or-$'-slow-my-program-down?> explains alternative ways of coding to avoid this. I've never used them, and my program doesn't exercise the feature that uses those variables, so I just commented it out for now. I haven't attempted to understand and recode, I'm afraid.

If my as-yet-unannounced ambitious experiment with copy-on-write works, you shouldn’t have to worry about $` and $& in 5.16. :-) But I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. :-(
