I am at 94 with the assistance of the previous fwp thread for mid.pl...
And I also cheated in head.pl (tsanta.pl accepts it, but it doesn't work
as expected...) to shave off one keystroke.

I guess mine are too. But Piers head.pl entry (I refer to the use.perl.org
journal entry I shouldn't have read) is very good. And it's
straightforward Perl, as documented in Amelia. I didn't think about it,
even though I translated the whole chapter 3 in French. :-S

I am very curious to see what else than the obvious can be done for
rev.pl. And I wonder if shorter than the obvious is possible (I guess so).
