in reply to Fast - Compact That String

My environment is perl 5.8.8 with no compiler so I am limited to pure perl modules only.

You could, however, compile a (C/C++/asm/whatever) binary on a machine with a compiler and copy that binary across?

Not exactly in the spirit of the challenge, I know! Just sayin' ...
