We need dollar-free golf!
In order to answer the question "what ratio of words in the SOWPODS wordlist
share no letters in common with the word mackerel?", I quickly threw this
together:
perl -ne '$c[m/[mackrel]/]++;}print($c[1]/$.,$/);{' < sowpods
However, there were complaints that it had too many dollar signs.
What's the shortest equivalent script which uses no dollar signs at all?
