First of all, that's a great code to explain visually and I thank you.
But my question is actually in syntax of the perl. Or perhaps I should say I can't read this program properly
I was debugging the program since I coudln't follow how they are coming up with results

./perl.hanoi1
HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Move disk #1 from A to C.
Move disk #2 from A to B.

##### I think I can follow up to here and understand why $n is 2 
HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Move disk #1 from C to B.
Move disk #3 from A to C.

##### This is where it lost me.. don't see how $n became 3 ? 
HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Move disk #1 from B to A.
Move disk #2 from B to C.
HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO Move disk #1 from A to C.

In reply to Re^2: cannot follow hanoi subroutine by convenientstore
