in reply to root function

It's just basic maths. The cube root of 27 is 27**(1/3). If you really want a function, try 
print wop(  8, 3 ); #2
print wop( 27, 3 ); #3

sub wop {
    my ( $base, $root ) = @_;
    return $base ** (1/$root)
}

update: s/If/If you/

Unless I state otherwise, all my code runs with strict and warnings

    You're going to have to rename that function "whop" for a US audience. :)
