Performance of Perl substr() and index()

Performance of Java substring() and indexOf()

Conclusions:

• chop(), length(), index(), substr() and split() are commonly used Perl built-in functions to manipulate strings.
• Perl substr() and index() functions are 2 times slower than Java substring() and indexOf() functions.
