but you can't do ANYTHING useful in perl. :)

hey, i like optimizing.  i think it's fun.  i'm not your average person though
either. :)  most people i know really don't like optimizing.  it's a large 
amount of work for (what seems like) a small amount of gain.  very little 
instant gratification.  i'm not into instant gratification though, so i'm
safe. :)
