I'd hope it could be improved. It doesn't work too well. As is, it doesn't run. By changing the map{}@_; to @b=@_;map{}@b; and all the references to $_[] to $b[], it runs, but gives the wrong answers. It looks neat, though!

    define "doesn't work"? it ran with many test cases for me..

    update: downloaded my exact code posted here and ran it with the following games.. 

    my @b = qw(X X X X X X X X X X 7 2);

[rchiav@aps:/home/rchiav]$ score
score is 286

my @b = qw(X X X X X X X X X X X X);

[rchiav@aps:/home/rchiav]$ score
score is 300

my @b = qw(X 9 / X 9 / X 9 / X 9 / X 9 / X);

[rchiav@aps:/home/rchiav]$ score
score is 200

and the actual example given in the description..
my @b = qw(5 / 6 3 X X 7 0 4 3 X 4 / 8 1 3 / 6);

[rchiav@aps:/home/rchiav]$ score
score is 146

    If you could, please explain to me what's "not working".

      I bet that you are running 5.6.x and the code is failing to run in 5.005_03. The reason is that the aliasing was a little more aggressive in 5.005_03.

      Trust me. This is a bug I have hit quite often in golf.
