Here's the goal: make a function that takes any number of equal-length strings, and returns an array of strings, where each string is the concatenation of the Nth character in each string.
Sample input: qw( jeff john mary )
Sample output: qw( jjm eoa fhr fny )
Here are my attempts:
# 51 chars
sub s2a{@_=@_;reverse+map{join"",map+chop,@_}1..length$_[0]}
# 51 chars
sub s2a{@_=@_;map{join"",map+s/(.)//s&&$1,@_}1..length$_[0]}
# 48 chars
sub s2a{map{join"",map+s/(.)//s&&$1,@_=@_}1..length$_[0]}
# 47 chars
sub s2a{map{join"",map{s/(.)//s;$1}@_=@_}1..length$_[0]}
# 45 chars
sub s2a{map{join"",map{s/.//s;$&}@_=@_}1..length$_[0]}

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).
