in thread how to speed up program dealing with large numbers?

1) I would upgrade to perl 5.10+ for say() alone. Having to write "\n" at the end of a print() statement every time will take years off your life. say() is equivalent to print() with a newline at the end of the output.

    Except that you spend those years anyway reading programs that alternate between say and print depending on whether they're printing full lines of output at a time.
