in thread (Golf) Let's go bowling

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.

    (BTW the current leader on the score-board is chipmunk.)
