Maybe you should just go straight to C or assembly?


use Benchmark;

my $foo = { lang => 'en', silly => 'tests', are => 'silly' };

sub foos { return $foo; }
sub foo { return $foo->{$_[0]}; }

timethese(-1, {
    sep => sub { foo('lang'); },
    all => sub { foos()->{lang}; },
    low => sub { $foo->{lang}; }
});

__END__

Subroutines suck, lets all use hashrefs.

(PS, your 'all' and 'par' tests are identical, as params is simply an
alias to parameters).
