in thread I can crash perl

tmp_7 seems to be a typo. It should have been declared with the others.

I am putting on my thinking cap. I am going to re-write this to be more efficient with memory. I have already made it more memory efficient (A little more) and now it doesn't crash (i.e. run out of memory, if that is in fact what's happening). I need to learn how to use hash tables (if that's even the correct term). I think it's time.

Just so ya-all know where I was coming from, I thought using temp variables would allow me to get memory back after I was done with them. (i.e. undef @tmp_1). Yes I know, peek memory would still be an issue. If anyone wants to give me some guidance on how to go about re-writing this I would accept it.

      map  { [ $_, expensive($_) } @unsorted

      Note that this expression should be
          map { [ $_, expensive($_) ] } @unsorted
      (missing right-square-bracket) or even
          map [ $_, expensive($_) ], @unsorted
      (needs extra comma).
