Thanks for enlightening us on your winning solution!

I like to learn the secrets of the masters!

From MTVs explanation:

	$#: is the only non-letter version
	$^C can be useful (Terje found this true)
	N%6 replaces range 0..5  (Rick also had this one)

From Solutions:

	sort{$a>$b} (Daniel & Peter) # Only works for smallest value per Juho
	sort{$a{key}=$a<=>$b} (Ton) # Neat assignment in sort sub
	$a{key}=bignum (Juho) to allow sort %hash and ignore values
	a..fan (Keith) saves a stroke when loop var is not used (68 for Peter)
	hash key includes newline (Ton & Rick) instead of -l

I am sure I missed a lot of cool tricks and learning about them is the
most interesting and the best way to help my future scores. 

Anyone have any pointers to fun bits that I missed?

How about some additional explanations? It may encourage some fence
sitters to play the next round.

I am especially curious about the crazy counters in Rick's solution
(Jacob's too). And what is the meaning of that leading slash
(reference)? It really looks like a mistake :)

What about that beatiful regex in Terje's solution?

Any information will be most appreciated!
