I agree with everything you say - and would almost certainly have said it too if I had had more time this morning :)

Just one small point. At the point when you switch to using "grep", you lose the tiny optimisation that you get from using "last" in the loop.

    Indeed. I thought of mentioning it, but that seemed to invite a deviation to List::Util::first and I dropped the whole thing.
