Re^2: Printing keys from a hash by value?

That is very interesting. I can surely use this to benchmark the different algorithms.

However, could you enlighten me on how the first part works? perldoc has nothing on chr... Thanks!

`chr` gives the character corresponding to an ASCII value. 65 = 'A', 66 = 'B', and so on. In retrospect, I could have made my loop 65..90, but I think 1..26 makes it more obvious that I'm spanning the alphabet. Putting `x4` after it just turns 'A' into 'AAAA' and so on, to make it more obvious that they're words. Aaron B. My Woefully Neglected Blog, where I occasionally mention Perl.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
