Hey ! I just read the (GREAT) magazine, here's my proposition :
perl -F// -ane'print+(map{($r*=36)+=/\d/?$_:-55+ord$_}@F)[-2]'
it's a filter so call it as usual through a pipe :
echo 1Z|perl -F// -ane'print+(map{($r*=36)+=/\d/?$_:-55+ord$_}@F)[-2]'
UPDATE :
Congratulations to all of you.
After reading your solutions, I found several neat tricks to enhance mine
(Epecially thanks to blakem and tilly's post) .
'ord' should definitly replace 'ord$_'...
For some (yet unknown) reasons I can't replace ($r*=36)+=... by $r=$r*36+...
(I'll work on it tomorrow, I REALLY need to sleep ;-)
Last :
perl -F// -ane'print+(map{($r*=36)+=/\d/?$_:-55+ord}@F)[-2]'

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
