[Perlfect-search] Search scores in percents

[JARED RUSSELL WHITE]

Thanks, Daniel -

That certainly is the right way to do it.  I'm not really thinking too
clearly today!

If anybody else is interested, here's the code to handle that:

  my @sortedList = sort {$answer{$b} <=> $answer{$a}} keys %answer;
  my $percentFactor;
  if (@sortedList) {
     $percentFactor = 99.99/$answer{$sortedList[0]};
  }

  foreach (@sortedList[$first..$last]) {
    my $score = sprintf "%.2f%%", $answer{$_} * $percentFactor;
    ...

Thanks, again, Dan.
