Oops, sorry.  That sounds a little callous.  I really just meant
to give a response similar to my "programmers always try to optimize
when they don't really need to" diatribe.  In other words, to get
you to check what your goal was and decide consciously if it's really 
worth finding a more concise approach, or whether you just got
caught up in Perlish "can I save another keystroke" thinking.  No
offense intended.

(Dang, now I've gone and offended Perl mongers!  Can't win. ;-)
