Any particular reason for creating and discarding the anonymous sub each time?

    It's only compiled once, so it's not technically "thrown away". Only the reference to it is.

    I did it that way out of habit. Usually, the recursive bit would be a closure over args passed to the non-recursive bit. In this case, I didn't close over anything, so it doesn't need to be nested.
