Dear monks:

I offer to your infinite wisdom my very first wandering into the arts of obfuscating code.

#/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$_[$_]=0 for 0..7;my$i;
for my$a(grep{s@^00@@}unpack'B8'
x28,join'',map{chr}split/\*+/,q{61*31*28*32*20*
40*25*63*63*9*52*58*49*18*30*47*20*2*10*4*8*63*63*1*36*2*13*
30}){$i=0;grep{$_[$i++].=$_}split//,$a;length$_
[0]==8&&print pack'B8',$_ for@_
;length$_[0]==8&&grep{
$_=0}@_;}print"\n";

As per the tradition set forth by our ancestors, I always try to Use strict and warnings.

Regards.
