Cheating! Cheating!  The variable @j2_keys is empty when the function is called
(it doesn't get filled until AFTER the benchmarks run, you need a BEGIN {}). 
You moved code out of the function.  You should allow the brett function to use
that variable as well and your error message is not equivalent.  And still you
only beat the ross function in the fourth case -- which is the unlikely
"everything is wrong" case.
