After a little more exploration, we realized that the first call to
SegmentIntersection is unnecessary. Removing that call dropped the
calculation time in half and similarly improved the profile output from
dprofpp.  Steven suggests looking at Ch 7 of _Perl Objects, References,
and Modules_. Our invoice is in the mail :).


Have fun,
