This code is quite fast, since it skips a lot of unnecessary operations
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use POSIX;
my ($i,$j,$h,$sentinel) = (0,0,0,0);
# i>=3
for($i=1000000000; $i<=1000000500; $i++){
# if $i is an even number, it can't be a prime
if($i%2==0){}
else{
$h=POSIX::floor(sqrt($i));
$sentinel=0;
# since $i can't be even -> only divide by odd numbers
for($j=3; $j<=$h; $j+=2){
if($i%$j==0){
$sentinel++;
# $i is not a prime, we can get out of the loop
$j=$h;
}
}
if($sentinel==0){
print "$i \n";
}
}
}

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).
