Re^2: External Refernces To code posted on Perl Monks

> Per eyepopslikeamosquito suggestion, I just dropped him a friendly note

Hi all, I'm the guy to blame for the code theft :-)

I'm sorry, I did not intend to steal code from anyone. I am currently teaching a class of a master dedicated to free software and open source technologies which includes a small module on perl.

In order to show something funny to the students I skimmed a bit thru perl monks and found the code of K_M_McMahon. Initially I put the address of the code on the slide, but since it did not fill the line I cut away the node_id. I'm changing the slide so that the address of the page is fully included. I hope it is enough. If K_M_McMahon don't want his code on the slide I will of course remove it.

I know I should have asked in advance, I simply thought that people willing to share his code on the web have no problem in having it on a slide (available on the web as well). Sorry again.

I never replied before since I never received the mail reported here by K_M_McMahon (perhaps it was caught by my SPAM filter? don't know). I was pointed to this discussion a minute ago by a friend.

BTW the italian version of your mail generated by babelfish is terrible :)

Cheers

Thanks for replying, Zack. Since you seem to like Python as much as Perl, you might be interested in The Lighter Side of Perl Culture (Part III): Obfu -- which provoked an anonymous Pythoneer into responding with gasp an ascii art Python obfu. Oh, and here's a Perl obfu with an Italian theme: spaghetti obfu. Luckily for me, I doubt that obfu will fit on a slide because, after all this, if you wound up replacing K_M_McMahon's master-work with the spaghetti one, I'd have to run and duck for cover from K_M_McMahon, who I admire greatly. :-) Ciao! /-\	[reply]

No need to apologize, no harm done. It s certainly enough with me that you just have the full perlmonks page reference attached. I am really honored that you found my code interesting enough to use for your class. I hope the class is going well. On a side note, since you are teaching a class in perl, you should check into the site more often, and maybe even get a username! Sorry to hear the Italian translation was so bad, Apparently you are pretty fluent in English though, so everything works out.....Feel free to continue to use the code snippet for as long as you like. -Kevin `my $a='62696c6c77667269656e6440676d61696c2e636f6d'; while ($a=~m/(^.{2})/s) {print unpack('A',pack('H*',"$1"));$a=~s/^.{2}//s;}` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
