After writing Spiro Japh, I wished I had thought to use color. But when ikegami very kindly pointed out to me the existence of the excellent Win32::Console::ANSI module, I created Spiro Japh 2, which works colorfully in both Linux and Windows ...

(You will need to install the Win32::Console::ANSI module to run it under Windows)

#!/usr/bin/perl                            -w -w -w -w -w
eval{     require                        Win32::Console::ANSI;
};sub      ::{printf                  @_ } sub            sub{
rand          39/999}               sub O123                 {::
""            ."\e[%d"            .";%dH%s"                  ,@_
;};               sub l234      {O123 $|=                    1
,1,                 "\e[J"}   while(1)                      {
$c                    or do {::"\e[1"                    ."".
 ""                    .";%dm", 30+                     rand
  7 ;                  l234;$u=&sub                  ;$v =
   &sub                ;$ c= 3999                 ;$b=qw
    /19 9            1/[int rand 3             ]};O123
     11*sin(      $v* $c)+    13,39*cos   ($u*$c)+41,
       qw+J A P H+[$c%4]        ;($a++%$b)or$c--;}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
