Invitation sent. Welcome aboard!

I think Perl 6 design team has a fair bit of interest in golf too... Only they call it huffman encoding. Otherwise how can you explain that $h.readline can be written as =$fh now?

    Just in the name of Huffman coding: couldn't  my @rev = reverse $f.readline() be made indentical to my @rev = - $f ? That would be the penultimate step in Perl golf...:-)
