Hi bmcatt,
Ahhh - another friday afternoon and fine day it is for some golf.
Fore!
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @x = ( 4, 4, 2 );
my @y;
my $i = -1;
#56 chars with whitespace removed.
@y = map {sprintf("XX%02d:%d",!$_?++$i:$i,$_)} map {0..$_} @x;
foreach (@y)
{
print ">$_\n";
}
I'm afraid I can't offer useful advice on your algorithm at this time. I think I see what you are trying to accomplish and this approach seems reasonable enough to me.
Good luck,
{NULE}

P.S. I know this wasn't a golfing question, but I'm just in that kind of mood. I've never tried golfing before so be easy on me. :)

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.
