hey Gargoyle,

$ is accepted as the shortest variable name, so you give this name to the variable you use the most.

($^) is the same as Len($) (but shorter)
$^0 is one shorter than the one above, but this is not always allowed by the interpreter

if $a | $b means if $a OR $b
if $a & $b means if $a AND $b

Loops do not have to be closed if the closing line is the last line of the function

These are a couple of golfing tricks, are there any specific others that you'd like to know about?
