The story: A few obfus ago I had a bunch of lines that I wanted to randomize to keep the obfu from being deconstructed a little too quickly. So, I came up with a short script that I have since shortened to a one-liner:

123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_1
perl -e'@l=<>;while(@l){$i=rand@l;print$l[$i];splice@l,$i,1}'

Scored in accordance with PGA Golf Rules, it hits the clubhouse at 61 chars. However, I'm sure there's probably much shorter ways out there that my feeble, cheese-filled mind isn't thinking of, and I figured some of you might get a little enjoyment out of this, so here we go...

Final Note: The space between -e and ' has proven optional everywhere I've tried it -- but if it turns out not to be somewhere, I'll gladly take the one-stroke penalty.
