I believe that in lines 12 and 13, the source code is encoded (bleached), BUT why does he print "use Acme::Bleach" before he whitens?

As I mentioned before the use line cause both compression and decompression. So of course it has to be output. Furthermore if he output the use line encoded perl would just ignore the whitespace.

What? How can a Perl script be executed without the hash line (#!/usr/bin/perl)? I sorta understand the first bleaching, but how can the script work on subsequent occasions without the hash line?!?
