Forgive me, but I'm not seeing how the last statements in the else loop get executed:
print "Move disk $num from $from to $to\n";
movedisks( $num-1, $aux, $to, $from );
I jotted down the steps with 3 discs on a piece of paper and this is how I saw it:
$numdisks = 3
movedisks( 3-1, A, C, B)
movedisks( 2-1, A, B, C)
print "Move disk 1 from A to B" for the base case
Shouldn't the last two statements be right outside the else block?
Neato problem, I didn't get it at first, but now I'm tempted to start my own 3-peg disc rotating habit. It all sounds very zen ;-)

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).
