Ah, no,
Limbic~Region,
your's ain't golf. No modules, lest I would say
use Junk;do
- 11 chars.. but that could be golfed down to use J;d - 7 chars ;-)
blokhead's solutions look neat, but they hog my cpu... (with 2355/12344 - still not finished in 3/4 hour ;-)
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
pop=~m|/|;($f,$g)=($`,$');sub d{int($_[1]/$_[0]+1)}sub
g{($x,$y)=@_;($x,$y)=($y,$x% $y)while$y;$x} sub re{($p
,$e,$r,$l)=@_;($p,$l)=($p*$l-$e*$r,$e*$l);$g=g($p,$l);
for($p,$l){$_/=$g};($p,$l)}while($f>1){push@o,"1/".d(#
$f,$g);($f,$g)=re($f,$g,1,d($f,$g));}print join' + ',#
@o,"$f/$g";# ungolfed and thus not for production use!
way too long...
<update>
golfed down a bit... (198 chars, counting newlines).

It computes egyptian fractions like this
qwurx [shmem] ~> perl -l egy.pl 2355/12344
2355/12344 == 1/6 + 1/42 + 1/3282 + 1/15755059 + 1/744665636525384
in no time...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
