i find a 'partial-sums' benchmark coded in Perl, in which what should be a
constant is coded as a subroutine call!!!
In Perl constants are defined as subroutines. See the "Constant
Functions" section of perlsub:
perldoc perlsub
I looked at the same benchmark for
Python and they use a constant. is this for real?
the partial-sums code was all i checked.
