I can't tell by this code alone, but does the benchmark time the entire
script that's running, or just the iterate/sort part?
i.e. is the 'rand' function timed also, and will the time difference between
generating 20 and 10,000 numbers mess up the results?
Sorry I can't test this myself, I'm at a computer w/out perl :O !!
Cheers, Carl
