Hi,

I had some free time and I was bored, so I decided to hone my Perl-fu with my second ever JAPH. It's quite simple, but I think it looks neat and I had lots of fun doing it. I had the chance to test it only with Perl 5.8.8, but I think hope it'll work with 5.10 too.. At least I can't see why it wouldn't.

To run it, place it in any file and make sure there are no empty lines before the first actual code line.

  $"="032";($:=++$|)*=4;open+0;sub  #074117115116
   _{$_=<0>;~/.*#(.+)(?{$,.=$+.$"   #097110111116104101114
    ;$:--?_():0})/}_;$,=~s/.$//;    #080101114108
     map{print chr}$,=~/(...)/g     #104097099107101114046010

(fixed, should work with 5.10 now. Thanks wazoox!)

If anybody wants me to, I can post a de-obfuscated version or some commentary, but I hardly think it's necessary.

Please let me know what you think! :-)
