in reply to A Question with Nesting Arrays

my $runs = 100000; # 10 thousand - the num of times we repeat the experiment
That's a confusing comment. 100000 can be written as 100_000 (see Scalar value constructors):
my $runs = 100_000;

    That's a confusing comment.

    indeed! And it is still confusing. Maybe write my $runs = 10 * 1000; #to be on the safe side.

    I'd have thought"
    "my $runs = 100000;"
    meant 100 thousand. Not the
    "10 thousand",
    noted by the OP.

    In any event. It'd be interesting to see the solution to the OP's question. :)

    Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.
