After the Santa Challenge, there was some discussion about a Perl Golfers Association Handbook. When there have been a few analyses posted here of beginner's solutions, we could extract the most imortant rules into the PGAH. > The Post Morten seems to focus on how the winning solution does what it does > (with some commentary on the finer points of how 1 or 2 characters were > shaved from various places) and what myself (and, it seems, others) are > looking for is an article that walks us through practical applications of how > to condense our starting code. As I said, I will do this for Tor's solutions, if he submits them... I'll post it to this list. Apart from that, I'd like to invite the top golfers to explain their code, especially if they have used an uncommon technique. We have made a list of interesting solutions that we think should be explained, and we will post that list when the course is closed. Eugene P.S. Why are there so many mails on this subject? Don't y'all have anything better to do than read the mailing list? The sun is shining, out on our beautiful golf course!
