true, but sometimes not as fast as a simple == comparison, or a strcmp. 
perl dudes like to use if($var =~ s/someval/) a lot. this could either be 
translated to PHP as

if(preg_match("/someval/", $var) > 0) OR
if(strstr($var, "someval") != FALSE)

i think the php man pages say that strstr() is a little faster than 
preg_match().

in fact, i've translated all if($var =~ /^abc/) to 
if(strncmp($var,"abc",3)==0). peg that down to my C roots.

that i'll bear testament to. heck, i'm even beggining to use $contador 
instead of $counter in places where i don't need to. this is one good way 
to translate two languages at the same time, portugese->english and perl->php.

got that.
