Yeah, i realized the whole @{[pop]} bit wasn't needed about 20 miles from home, figured someone would've already noticed it by the time i got back.. Here's one more:
sub k { $_=0 x3|"@_";/495/?0:1+k(-($_=join'',sort/./g)+reverse) }
55

--sean

    Nice ... It took me a sec to notice it was | and not ||. You can shave off a char by replacing "@_" with pop. I tried to save more, but each time I came up with the same # of chars, just a different way to do it. It almost looks obfuscated now : ), but here's a solution at 54:
    sub k { $_=$-x3|pop;!/495/&&1+k(-($_=join$k,sort/./g)+reverse) }

    Update:Nice catch Sean. I tested it, just not against numbers like 100 233. It looks like the am wins then, unless that can be beaten.

      Nope, you can't use pop, unless you use it like this: "@{[pop]}" .. The quotes turn it into a string instead of an integer, so the | does a bitstring or instead of a numeric or. If either of the operands are numeric, you'll get the numeric or:
      perl -we 'print "000"|1' 1
      that doesn't work for us, we need this:
      perl -we 'print "000"|"1"' 100
      --sean

      and yeah, i came up with a handful of slightly different attempts that all came in at 55 too.
