Golf is a game in which players try to put a little ball in a little hole with the fewest attempts to do so (called "strokes"). Perl golf attempts to write a program that achieves some goal in the fewest strokes also—keystrokes. Programmers compete to write the shortest code possible to do the same thing. Personally, I dislike Perl golf because it perpetuates the notion that Perl is a line noise write-only language.	[reply]

How about tgolf (or pgolf) for shortest time (t in tgolf for time, silent p in pgolf for performance)?	[reply]
