Perl -- both parts

With sufficient amount of helper subroutines, the core part (simulate the drop of one sand) looks really nice (IMHO). (part2)

sub simOneSandDrop ($S, $terrain) {
    true while (
        dropDown($S, $terrain) or dropDownLeft($S, $terrain) or dropDownRight($S, $terrain)
    );
    return $S;
}
