I am in awe. I spent the entire afternoon figuring this one out and all I can say is "Wow".

I do have a few questions, if you don't mind.

1) I understand that

0123 =~ m #\d+#
$8.$;

[download]

is a NO-OP. I just don't understand how. I'm also assuming that the eval() right afterwards puts a semi-colon in right before, but I'm not sure why.

2) How on earth did you get the crypt function to work the way you wanted it to?? Was it just random luck or did you brute force a whole bunch of possibilities until you got the ones you wanted?

3) Why did you have to quote the No Using Deparse tr when using 'y'? Once I got it into tr///, it worked just fine, but leaving it in y/// didn't.

If I could ++ this again, I would. I learned a ton from it. Thank you!
