If you reverse the line order and the order of characters within your lines, it should do the trick (if I understood what you are looking for). This is a Perl one-liner used on one program random file sitting in my main directory:

$ perl -e '@c = reverse <>; for (@c) {$d = reverse $_; print $d}' coderef.pl

On my file, I get the following reesult


;)f$(evitatnet
}

;))0 == ruoter_edoc$( && ) 1 => sevitatnet_bn$(( elihw }
;--sevitatnet_bn$
;ruoter_edoc$ tnirp
;))(>-g$( lave = ruoter_edoc$ ym
{ od

;3 = sevitatnet_bn$ ym
 ;tfihs = g$ ym
{
 evitatnet bus

;};"otot" tnirp{ bus = f$ ym

;sgninraw esu
;tcirts esu

The last line above is a reverse 'use strict;' line that was at the beginning of my file.
