Yes. I read Japhy's comment...and that is the theory of how it works, true. I was wanting more of a breakdown (similar to what you did). And now, I have a few more questions regarding your breakdown.

I am seeing syntax that is just not recognizable to me. This is what I would like learn.

-+1+                <-Length:4  Ascii:61+4=65  (A)

How does '52+ -+1+ length' work? Specifically the '-+'...what does that do?

I finally just figured out that this is one of those 'do this for each iteration of expression'. So really, I am just wondering what the operators are doing up there.

    '62+ -+1+ length' is just a difficult way to write '61 + length'.

    62+-+1 is 61. Just 'print 62+-+1'.

    The reason for this operator thing is the same as for the many brackets around foreach.
    They are just filler to get the right length of blocks of non-whitespace characters to get J A P H.
