A bit of technique is needed here: 1) printing $_ is the default, so all that's missing is the newline. You can get that using -l 2) Always keep both the string and array view in mind. switch between them often Combining these two we get: -l $t=pop;$_.=$w++&$w?($t=~s/.//,$f^=$w*$&,$&):2while~$t;s#2#1&$f/$+[0]#eg;print Which is a 80 and breaks even with the best string based solution on the list. And others on this list might see further improvements. For bigger gains, you also have to think of multiple algorithms of course.
