Hey! Thats really elegant and instructive Abigail-II - but please forgive a stupid question...
Would it be possible for the product of $f ^ $s to contain a "1" and hence pollute your $_ string?

    Yes, but no. It could certainly be possible that the XORred string contains a character "1". But this is ok, the tr/\x00/1/c turns anything that is not "\x00" into a "1" anyway - after the tr, the string will only contain "\x00" and "1" characters.

      Oh of course they are. Looks like I'm being even more stupid than usual

      Sorry to have troubled you
