in reply to Textual Analysis and Perl

There have been a couple of interesting threads in brian d foy's journal on use.perl.org over the last fews weeks relating to textual analysis of program code. This thread and the pretty pictures linked from it in particular are most interesting.

 

perl -le "print+unpack'N',pack'B32','00000000000000000000001010010101'"

    "Interesting" pictures?!? Can you explain what they represent, then? I've looked at them for a while, but I have no clue what they are supposed to represent. So I just dismissed them.
