Thanks for the explanation, since then it was just easy to follow the code. ++votes for you and for zdog.

One more thing. As I got 'another' in lowercase (guess you made a typo in the explanation), and curious enough, I wondered what changes to introduce in the data to get a capital A. So I replaced the meaningless '3' and 'X' chars with hiphens, just to track down the '097' ASCII code. As it can be easily seen:


    -0-    --7---4-
    --1-  --1---7---1
    ---1---5---1---1---
    6---0---0--   -0---
   0---9---7---    1---
 1 -- -0---1---  1 ---1
  --  -1---1---6  ---1
        ---0---4-
        --1---0---1---1---1---4---0---0---0-
        --0---8---0---1---0---1---1---1---4--
         -1---0---8---0---0---0---0---7---2---0
          ---9---7---0---9---9---1---0---7---1---
           0---1---1---1---4------------------
             --------------------------------
              ------------------------------
                ---------------- ----------
                 ------           ----------
                  ----            ---   -----
                   ---              ---    ----
                    --               --      --
                    --               --      --
                    --              --       --
                    --             --        --
                  ---            ---        --

it is in line 5. Replaced it with '065' and I was done.

Where is the promissed Perl pie? :-)
