Re: Abbreviate english words

Without commenting on the rest of the code, I'd just like to point out that your while loop control is better written as:

while (local $_ = shift) {...}

Without the local, you will be stepping on your parent's $_.

Ta. I did mean to put a "baby language Perl" warning in the description! Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply]
