I recently bungled (I think, I won't know for a few days yet) a phone interview because of a combination of nervousness and ignorance. The question was regarding the Schwartzian Transform; which I didn't comprehend the implementation or usefulness of.

So, in the interest of never making the same mistake twice, I seek for some Perl Wisdom.

Are there any other algorithms, implementations or methodologies out there that lend themselves particularly well to Perl? Or perhaps are used commonly in Perl? Or perhas are DESIGNED by someone close to the development of Perl?

I'm also looking for any implementations of standard, well-known algorithms that are particularly clever when done in Perl.

Any pointers or help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
