PyrexKidd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: I was browsing here and found this Rot13 Challenge. Rot13 Encryption is performed by shifting the letters 13 characters to the right. A becomes N, B becomes O. The cool thing about this is an encrypted string can be decrypted by using the same algorithm. IOW, the A becomes N, N becomes A. my first thought was to convert the characters to their equivalent ascii number, shift it, then return the ascii character.
Then I figured why not use the translate function...
Considerably shorter. So the challenge is this:
Any takers?
