in thread Hex to decimal resulting in integer overflow

Actually, the /g was quite intentional. If you are going to drop that, you might also want to change the \b to a $.

Yes, my hash look-up is likely insignificantly faster. But your use of /i also likely leads to an additional (insignificant) performance penalty.

Perhaps somewhat unfortunately, the computer science term "functional" means much more than "using functions". Perhaps you should use "procedural" instead? Or "function-based"?

Thanks.
