Re: explain obfu code

You could also run it through Deparse to make it look a lot less ugly...that would by my first step.

perl -MO=Deparse script.pl

Yields:

++$|;
undef $/;
$_ = $e || <ARGV>;
tr/+-.<>[]//cd;
foreach $a (']}', '[while($p[$p]){', '-$p[$p]--', '+$p[$p]++', ',$p[$p
+]=ord(getc)', '.print(chr($p[$p]))', '<$p--', '>$p++') {
    s/\Q${\substr($a, 0, 1);}\E/${\substr($a, 1);}\n;/g;
}
eval $_;

Yick! What is this program supposed to do anyway?

Here's my second pass at looking at this. Look at the elements in the foreach loop. The left most character of the element is what is looked for in the replacement and the rest of the element it what a match is replaced with.

This input

Produces this output

while($p[$p]){
;$p--
;$p[$p]--
;}
;

Could this be a home brew macro language parser? jeffa agree's with this idea.

perl -l -e "eval pack('h*','072796e6470272f2c5f2c5166756279636b672');"

Try piping this into it - `+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.>++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++.>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.>+++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++.>++++++++++.>-<` [download] There are more elegant ways of putting that, but it's brainfuck which is rarely elegant anyways.

I had never heard of BF -- I guess you do learn something new every day. Anyway, in the spirit of BF Golf, I shortened your code.
