in reply to optimizing code - need help

I'm posting anonymously to defeat being voted down...

Something just strikes me as very wrong about that. Willing to post things to get ++ed, but have something potentially controversial and you want to duck out of the whole system that we use jsut because it may harm you.

Ya know, asking how to improve something that is already working but you feel you can make better usually gains respect here at the monastery.

Look, not to come down on you hard, but the XP doesn't really mean that much, it's fun. When reading a node, very few of us go look up the author of each to see their XP. And if you spend enough time to have a feel for who is high level or not, whether they have a few more or less XP doesn't change their opinions. Come out, don't worry about XP, and just be a person who enjoys Perl.
