I think the biggest conceptual leap, for me anyway, is indexing a for loop by an array, but never consulting $_, just using it to do things the right number of times without operating on the array -- and here, not even the right number of times, just a generous upper bound. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
