Thanks for reminding me. One of the best parts about the old Perl Quiz
of the Week list was the problem setter's comparative analysis of the
submitted entries. This helps all of the participants. Rather than
simply rewarding one winner for the "best" solution, if the good
points of all solutions are presented and compared, the discussion can
result in an even better solution using the best parts of each.
