Young Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi! Im a newbie to PERL. I came across a size contest in spoj. The Problem was: The number of inputs will be given as the first input. After that, a series of numbers both positive and negative are given. The program has to count only the values of the positive numbers and display the result. Eg, Input: 5 2 -2 3 4 Output: 9 For this problem, i wrote a Perl Program. This was my Program: $a=<>; ($x=<>)>0 ? $_ += $x : 0 while $a--; printI've heard Perl excels in short programs. But i cant make it any shorter! Can u guys help me make it shorter??? Thanks! Update: Btw, the shortest solution length was a mind boggling "6" characters long!!!! OMG!!! Note: Actually the characters whose ASCII values are >=32 are only counted as characters
