OK, I was going thru a ROM dump last week, and text I was interested in was interlaced between the high and low ROMS. Naturally, I thought perl would be ideal to straighten this mess out. The resulting program I wrote felt too long. So, without further ado, your golf course today is to take 2 strings:
Ti sats.
hsi et
... and produce a single string from them:
This is a test.
Extra credit: Make the routine split the single string into substrings that're an arbitrary length, and spit them out on separate lines, ie: the big string is really a bunch of strings of "x" bytes.
I promise this ain't homework, even tho it really looks like it by now. :o)

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).
