I suppose I shouldn't be arguing with Ton's methods, but in my mind -- especially if
the winning entry is 150 characters -- using an eight character function is no big
deal. Assuming it can save you effort. I guess the problem here is that it doesn't
save you much effort. You have to do the s/(.{57})....+/$1.../ anyway, and you have to
do an s/// of some sort on the second line anyway. I figured you could get some
savings from using the @<<< format strings for both lines, but it turns out you can
find intelligent ways to store the line lengths anyway.
