>From the rules: b. All problem solutions submitted for judging must be expressed in one of the designated programming languages of the competition, using the designated hardware with the designated operating system, compiler and other software. c. Competitors may consult any source materials intended for human use, including books, manuals, program listings and non-programmable calculators. However competitors must not load machine readable versions of software prior to the competition, nor may they bring their own computers (including programmable calculators and personal digital assistants), mobile phones or computer peripherals into the competition area. In addition, removable machine-readable media (e.g. floppy disks) must not be brought into or taken out of the competition. All source material must be declared and can only be used at the discretion of the Chief Judge. Infringement of this rule may lead to disqualification. I wonder what the chances of getting the whole of CPAN pre-installed on the machine would be :) Jody
