The correct answer depends on you. Things to consider: Does it work correctly? Do you understand it? Would anyone else understand it? Will you understand it in a month's time? Does it strike a good balance between terseness and verbosity? Could you make changes to it without it being likely to break in unforeseen ways? and a very distant last: Is it fast enough? If you can answer yes to all those questions you can consider the code to be correct. Perl is environmentally friendly - it saves trees	[reply]
