When all the no-nos are corrected, I would wager, the Rev version will 
be faster :-)

Perl, although fast, does not have as sophisticated compilation as Rev. 
I think Perl is still interpreted from start to finish. Correct me if 
I'm wrong anybody....

Especially in a tight loop such as your lotto program, after the first 
step of the loop, the Rev app is running compiled code. Perl is running 
interpreted code all to the last step.
