From the keyboard of flee@cs.psu.edu (Felix Lee):
:And Perl is definitely awkward with data types.  I haven't yet found a
:pleasant way of shoving non-trivial data types into Perl's grammar.

Yes, it's pretty awful at that, alright.  Sometimes I write perl programs
that need them, and sometimes it just takes a little creativity.  But
sometimes it's not worth it.  I actually wrote a C program the other day
(gasp) because I didn't want to deal with a game matrix with six links per node.

At first I thought I could just keep one local list around
at once, but this seems inherently recursive.  Which means
I need an real recursive data structure.  Maybe you could
do it with one of the %assoc arrays Larry uses in the begat
programs, but I broke down and got dirty.  I think the hardest
part was matching Felix's desired output exactly.  It's not
blazingly fast: I should probably inline the &childof routine,
but it *was* faster to write than I could have written the
equivalent C program.
