in thread Seek one liner for distributing an integer

or if you want something ugly:

%result = map{pop@array,length}('1'x$num)=~/^@{['(.*)'.'(\1.?)'x$#array]}$/;

Apparently, map + regexps can do anything! ☺

Non-destructive:

%result = map{$array[$i++],length}('1'x$num)=~/^@{['(.*)'.'(\1.?)'x$#array]}$/;

    I'm pretty sure perl's flavor of regular expressions are turing complete, so you could do it all without the map. (I guess that would make them trans-regular expressions. Anyone got a better name?)

      Is "I'm pretty sure perl's flavor of regular expressions are turing complete" a challenge? :)
