GrandFather,
I have been eyeing your node since you posted it. It seems to me that it is unlikely that there is anything you could do to your code to make it more meaningful to the audience. Even if they were non-perl programmers, the following would require a fair amount of explanation:
my @next = grep $_, split;

I think you would be better off by providing a plain english explanation of the algorithm. That way they can understand and agree with your approach even if they don't understand the code. I am not talking about comments nor even documentation. I think a completely distinct written explanation would be of the most benefit to this audience.

Cheers - L~R
