Re^4: Getting last valid index from a particular list in a @LoL

Aren't you tying your leg to your cheek there by going through the array twice? :-/

It's irrelevant when the script is going to be thrown away two days later of course, but I'd never put any bets on that. "A little" sloppiness here and "a little" there and some more at another place tends to pile up faster than you notice..

I'll bet you that for a 10-50 element list, my method to find all points which have a maximum beats any method where you do all the bookkeeping yourself. `List::Util::max` and `grep` are darn fast. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]
