my purpose in posting the code was mainly to draw attention to what i considered an ingenious piece of code, and possibly also to the cypherspace site.

the code would not be appropriate for use in another script mostly because of it's obfuscated nature, but also because of the perl command line args that need to be used. apologies if this was unclear.

Given this, I should say, the goal here is obviously art, sadly not mine. While i would not use the 3 line perl/bc RSA in anger, or the above SHA, or MD5 in 8 lines, more directly relevant, i still find them all a powerful demonstration of perl's beauty.

thus the inclusion.
