The Matrix has now been reloaded with Perl hackers.

This JAPH is set to work best on screens of 70 columns or more. If you have fewer than 70 cols., I left the adjustment easy to find.

This JAPH has tested successfully on Unix, Linux, and Win98.

Once you see what it does, walking through it probably won't be too awfully tricky, but post any comments or suggestions so that I can learn something too. Let me know what you think!

Here's the code. Prepare yourself to enter the Matrix. 

map{my$qw;map{!$q[$_]&&rand>.993?do{$q[$_]=${[qw$Just another Perl
hacker$]}[$qq++].q$.$x5 .q$ $x5;$qq=$qq>3?0:$qq}:0;$q[$_]?do{($qx,
$q[$_])=split//,$q[$_],2;$qw.=$qx}:{$qw.=q$ $}}1..70;;print$qw,$/;
select$a,$a,$a,.06}1..300

Enjoy!!!
