Update: The error is my environment not tilly's code!

With -s command line switch disabled, his code produces the following output for the 'failing test': 

c:\test>perl tilly.pl -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9
Start: 0
End: -1
Sum: 0
Numbers:

which is not totally incorrect.

Your's needs to be a little more complex though. 

c:\test>tilly -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9
Start: 5
End: 11
Sum: 26
Numbers: 5 8 4 4 -3 5 3
