Hehe, I was just thinking, and take this as you will, but it would be mighty amusing if you include a small obfuscation as the footer* on each page of your paper that you will submit at the end of the term. I assume that you will write some kind of paper, be it a description of what you did or some an actual research paper, and this might make it a little more fun, and provide examples of the nuances of Perl.

*Specifically, a different obfuscation on each page. I would not suggest coming up with all of them yourself either. Some - yes! - but not all. There are plenty of good one or two line obfuscations here that use various cool tricks, and you could use those. (with permission, of course!)
