What is it supposed to do? It waits for input, but I have no idea what to give it. If I feed it itself, I get (If I s/eval/print/): 

pri`t "Happy `ew  _

    Save it to a file and execute that file.

    You cannot run it by piping it to Perl. (Known limit of the output of Acme::Smirch.)

    It works on Linux with Perl 5.6.1.

      Same problem: 

      5;0 juerd@ouranos:~/tmp$ perl newyear.pl 
Backticks found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "pri`
+t "Happy `"
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "`t "H
+appy `ew"
        (Missing operator before ew?)
5;0 juerd@ouranos:~/tmp$ perl -v | head -n2

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i686-linux

      I'm glad I chose the easy way out. At least a simple print Just Works ™.

        Acme::Smirch and 5.8.0 don't cooperate? Thanks, I will remember that.
