Hi Everyone,

Last week I tried a performance workshop in one of my perl courses, and
everyone had a great time - so I'm posting the same challenge here hoping to
get the same effect.

The game is a small mastermind I wrote in perl, with an automatic AI solver
that plays against himself and solves the game within around 8 guesses.
You need to improve the performance of the BPSolver class without changing
any line of code from the game .pl file.

Here are the rules of the game (from wikipedia):

The game .pl file: http://www.ynonperek.com/uploads/bp2.pl
The AI solver class: http://www.ynonperek.com/uploads/BPSolver.pm

I got around 70% improvements. Of course, I'd love to hear what you did to
improve and how well you got. Will post my solution next week.

Have a great one,
  Ynon
