Hi Dr.Avocado,

Another suggestion for simplifying code ...

Instead of: 

    my @suits = ("hearts","clubs","spades","diamonds");

[download]

You may find qw useful: 

    my @suits = qw(hearts clubs spades diamonds);

[download]

I've often found qw to be a big help in writing one-time use (ie. "throwaway") code, when applying one or more algorithms to a set of files: 

use strict;
use warnings;

# Set @files to the result of doing something like
# "ls -1" in Linux, or DIR/b in Windows (DOS)
#
my @files = qw(
    a.txt
    b.txt
    c.txt
    d.txt
    e.txt
    f.txt
);

foreach (@files) {
    do_something_with_this_file($_);
}

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
