Thank you for the replies everyone.

Looking back, I think my choice of the word “Ethical” was poor. Really this is about perl golf rules and standards, not ethics.

Again, I posted anonymously because I suspected the answer to my question was considered obvious; something that every golfer just knows. But, from my point of view, it could have easily been either “obviously yes” or “obviously no”. :-) As always, the monastery continues to be gentle to those still learning.

And thanks ton, it looks like you have already thought of this. As always your 10.54 steps ahead of me! You are an amazing golfer, and your 17 point submission had me climbing the walls. Even through it was rejected, when this is all over, I have to see what you posted.

Back to the battle grounds!
