Re: FAQ 5.18 How can I open a file with a leading ">" or trailing blanks?

Other than the reasons given above, is there any effeciency or speed

open FILE, ">", "file";

You are dealing with accessing a file system and -except in very special
cases like flash memory- with physical media that needs to be
moved/read/interpreted. Those steps are many orders of magnitude slower
than any speed gain you could possibly get from using one form over the
other within Perl.
