"Distribution: skewed: Nasty mark II (Grandfather)",
{a => 30, b => 20, c => 10},
{'1.0' => 30, '2.0' => 12, '4.0' => 6, '8.0' => 12}
);
Prints:
Distribution: skewed: Nasty mark II (Grandfather)
a: 22 @ $1.00
8 @ $8.00
bucket avg: $2.87, deviation: $-0.033
b: 8 @ $1.00
6 @ $2.00
2 @ $4.00
4 @ $8.00
bucket avg: $3.00, deviation: $0.100
c: 6 @ $2.00
4 @ $4.00
bucket avg: $2.80, deviation: $-0.100
However, allocating 1/2 of each parcel to a, 1/3 to b and 1/6 to c gives a perfect result.
Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.

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).
