in thread (Golf): Sieve of Eratosthenes

I had thought of that, but assumed it would slide :)

Make that 46 by the way...

sub sieve { sub p{$_[0],$#_?p(grep$_%$_[0],@_):()}p 2..pop }

    I had thought of that, but that goes into deep recursion if you call sieve(1). :)

    Oh, but tilly says that you may assume $n is above a fixed number. Pooh!

      No. I only say that for the bonus problem.

      The first problem is correct first, efficient afterwards. The second should express the efficient algorithm accurately, but I allow some boundary sloppiness.
