Rick Klement has found a couple of mistakes in the rules and in the test script.
* The description of the tiebreaker did not correspond to the implementation. The real tiebreaker favours those programs with the *lowest* number of alphanumerics/whitespace, and I've updated the rules. * The test input did not contain the promised newlines. I've added them now. * Some test cases were added (including a couple by Michael Thelen). Test script v.3 can be found at http://perlgolf.sourceforge.net/TPR/0/5b/tpr05b.pl .
