[Bioperl-l] Adding all elements from an array of scores

Although this is not really a Bioperl question, I feel I should mention 
this solution:

use List::Util qw(sum);
@scores = (1,2,3,4,5);
print sum(@scores);

The List::Util module is part of the standard Perl distribution and is 
likely to have an optimized implementation.
