You're obviously too defensive.  :-)

I often post non-Perl solutions if I think they're appropriate.  And I
freely admit that I overlooked sort -u, which is, as you say, perfect for
the job.  The sort I grew up with didn't have -u, so I never seem to think
of it.  Dratted fossilized neurons...

And what's so amazing about me being better than other people with Perl?
I bet you're better than me with auth.  You push auth a little, I push
Perl a little, and the world becomes a better place.  If you consistently
take an antagonististic approach, however, people are going to start
thinking you're from New York.   :-)

Love,
Larry
