Regarding C) No. Definately not (IMO anyway). Did the fact that I implemented 2-3 trees (aka red-black trees) in perl rob me of understanding 2-3 trees? Did it with huffman compression? Did it with LZW compression? Treaps? No no, perl frees you from all the BS junk and allows you to narrow down quickly on the algorithm at hand. It may not be as efficient as the same thing coded in C, but its the same algotihm and thus will perform just the same way.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
