The life of a Perl hacker is a slipery slide (or at least that remark seems to fit this particular JAPH).

Use a relatively standard terminal when running this JAPH. Also, it's been tested successfully on a Linux, Win32, and Unix machine, but YMMV.

I seem to learn something new every time I work my way through one of these things. This one was no exception. I hope you like the results.

$|=@x="\r";map{for($x=45;$x;){sub x{select$u,$u,$u,pop}$qq=$"x--$x.$_ ;print@x,$qq.$"x(70-length$qq.join"",@x[1..4]);x.06}x+1;push@x,$_.$"} qw/Just another Perl hacker/;print$/

Enjoy!!!

    Kinda cool. Now, if I had the time to decipher how you were doing that... :-)

    It makes me remember of a famous film director that made a film called "GOTO L'îlle del Amour" (nothing allusive :). And he once made a film where he showed his old collection of animated little objects. Another masterpiece!

    I like it, but I have 1 small problem. I have run out of votes for today. One of the problem with only being a novice, only 5 votes per day and this was the 6th item I wanted to vote for.
