perl Golf judging entails reading in a script and running it through some pre-determined algorithm to come up with a score. shortest count wins, reflecting the script with the shortest code length. perl Style judging entails reading in a script and running it through some pre-determined algorithm to come up with a score. lowest score wins, reflecting the script with the best coding Style. there is no judging of the judges, the script is predetermined in both cases. You've got three factors to play with: size, speed, and quality you can pick any two. it's ALL subjective, by the way. size, speed, and quality are ALL made up, subjective terms. its just that size and speed map much more easily into objectively measured metrics. mapping "quality" into a objective measure would be difficult, but would then make it easier for programmers to evaluate where there script is in the speed/size/quality triangle.
