I found this page while randomly surfing the net this evening, I found
it quite amusing and figured some people here might too.
Using regular expressions to check for the primality of a number seemed
very novel to me, and it's in Perl as well (though they give one example
in Ruby too).
Very cool stuff (and a testament to the power of Perl's regular
expressions engine).
Best Regards,
Travis
