Re (tilly) 2: TIMTOWTDI/golf - counting backwards

Hrm, and I didn't get any notice for having another solution that is as short as your function, and having one that is 1 better on the command line?

Guess I will have to improve then.

#23456789_123456789_123456789_12345
perl -le'$x=@_=a..j;print$x--for@_'

sub f {
#23456789_123456789_12345678
$x=@_=a..j;print$x--.$/for@_
}

UPDATE
The answer to the question is "tradition". :-)

UPDATE 2
jmcnamara pointed out that I was miscounting. Fixed.

The `sub` more or less made me assume it takes parameters. Why do you write it as a sub when it works perfectly on its own? `2;0 juerd@ouranos:~$ perl -e'undef christmas' Segmentation fault 2;139 juerd@ouranos:~$` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
