in thread circular area in a coordinates grid (AoA)

Cool! But that eval poked my eye.

The following can potentially save on some sqrt's too:

my $delta_x = $radius ** 2 - ($center_r - $row) ** 2; if( $delta_x >= 0 ){ $delta_x = int sqrt $delta_x; ...

    you can also get rid of both squares

    x² = r²-y²

    now increment y2=y+1

    x2² = r²-(y+1)²

    x2² = r²-y² - 2y - 1

    x2² = x² - 2y -1

    I'm too tired to get rid of the sqrt too now :)

    Just having some fun :)

    Nothing wrong with having a little fun in a "proof-of-concept" example, is there?
    It's not like it's production code :)

      sorry maybe my comment sounded a bit aggresive (but it wasn't meant to be).
