A minor nit. If I've understood the code correctly, you've used a substitution... $days = s/+//; ...where a transliteration would be "better"... $days = tr/+//d; # Note transobliteration modifier ...and a lot faster (not that this is really an issue in this case.)Unless you wanted to allow only a leading + in which case... $days = s/^+//; It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few. Pythagoras (582 BC - 507 BC)
