Thanks for the good analysis ++.

You're correct about not needing the eval.  I left that in because it was how I discovered the trick of doing a require followed by die in the first place, when working on code that needs Win32::CONSOLE::ANSI, but only on Windows.  When debugging the program by putting die in the middle, I was surprised that it died with the error I had circumvented with the eval.  Looking up die, quickly set me straight that the behavior was correct.

Besides the double entendre on "Dying for a Good Japh", I like the irony that the program complains it can't find JAPH in "Just Another Perl Hacker"!

@ARGV=split//,"/:L"; map{print substr crypt($_,ord pop),2,3}qw"PerlyouC READPIPE provides"
