I also used to code in Pascal (never mind how long ago). If I was swapping two numerics, I used the XOR function. Here's the Perl version (since we ain't Pascal Monks):

$a = 598;
$b = 77;
$a = $a ^ $b;
$b = $a ^ $b;
$a = $a ^ $b;
print "$a $b\n";

Use the ($a,$b) = ($b,$a) version, though. I just put this up for fun: TMTOWTDI!

Update: Aaargh! Ignore me. dailylemma posted this already. That's what I get for starting a reply, going for a soda, then finishing the reply.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
