Larry?  A "Super Macho Hacker"?

I've never heard *that* applied to him before. :-)

I can see it now:  the book will be titled:

	"PERL III: Super Macho Hackers strike back!"

I guess that's better than Teenage Mutant Ninja Hackers, or something
like that.  (Maybe that would fit me... hmmm...)

print grep(s/^\d+(.*)/$1 /, sort(split(/ /,"8hacker, 4Perl 1Just 2another")));
(ok, so I didn't get the trailing space out... :-)
