well, no. this version is not compliant with the guidelines, and was 
already "refused" by Doug Bagley. see: 
http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/bench/strcat/alt/strcat.perl2.perl
(BTW, for the web maintainer: the corresponding page on alioth seems to 
be broken).

Doug says: "You can produce repeated strings in Perl via the x operator, 
but this program does not really follow the test guideline that the 
program should do N individual string concatenations in a loop".

cheers,
Aldo
