I can't see that you have been downvoted in this thread and I certainly never did.

But IMHO is "challenge" indeed the wrong lingo here and in the open source world.

> it seems that most have no good solution, only a few clues and ideas.

Well YMMV but in my view I've already given you excellent counseling and spend considerable time trying to help you.

One of the mantras of this site is "not a code writing service!"

We want you and other - current or future - readers of this thread to learn and make advances in programing Perl. That's why we share for free.

But you keep repeating that you don't like the math or real programming.

So probably you might be better served by hiring a "real" programmer?

Since you already mentioned that M$ is paying for their "challenges", this seems to be your go-to model.

Good luck! :)

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.
