That went WAY over my head! :-)

Cool! Thanks! I was having problems with "to" being undefined (the compiler was giving me lots of errors). Hopefully this will let me clean up my code.

    Then one certain way of improving your Perl skills is to read up on it. :-) Figuring out the Schwartzian Transform probably shouldn't be your highest priority at the moment, but it'll help your understanding of sorting, arrays, and the infamous map.

    If you're interested, I strongly recommend japhy's excellent article Re: Helping Beginners (continued).
