Now that we've all kissed and made up, back to it!
Andy, I downloaded your Perl script and it's actually quite readable for Perl (which is in fact a great language despite the relative unreadability). Do you mind if I try doing a direct port into a Rev command-line script? I'm curious to see how the speed compares with almost identical scripts in the two different languages.
This seems like me like a good opportunity to do two things:
a) Test the raw engine speed by porting the Perl script as-is (it looks like it can be translated line-by-line pretty well)
b) See if there are any Rev tricks to make it even faster
Andy, do you mind if I use your Perl script as a basis for some of this comparing? I'd of course share all of the results.

* He already posted the URL for his perl script ...
Oops, I apologize. It did not appear to me that he had posted the Perl code for comparison. I re-read the thread and found that he had done so. Sorry Andy! That URL is http://mywebpages.comcast.net/foxcat/PERLotto.zip
He hasn't exactly been rude or bashed Rev. If someone really feels threatened, feel free to write a Rev command-line script based on the Perl one and see how it does.
The subject line bugs me. People do get protective of their favorite programming tools you know :-)
