Wow, that's a nice node that I wasn't previously aware of. The basic shortenings I made were:

  • all variable names one char in length
  • eliminate variables where you can
  • removed quotes from strings (e.g. "FRED" -> FRED)
  • $x=1;$y=1 -> $x=$y=1
  • shift -> pop in subs
  • removed return in subs
  • split // -> /./g
  • for {...} -> ... for
  • if {...} -> ... or ...
  • ' ' -> $"
These all seem to be mentioned in Perl Golf 101, except perhaps the last one. BTW, I've added Perl Golf 101 to the list of references in The Lighter Side of Perl Culture (Part IV): Golf.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
