in reply to Perl does Dickens

That's a problem that's been bugging me for quite a while. After a severe brain overload, trying to figure out how it could be both the best and worst of times, I just quit trying to anylize it :), it seemed slightly oxymoronic :). Maybe that "die" function is why I can never get past the first line of the book in order to finish it, or even get started :), hahahaha :). Anyway, excellent job, I'm thinking there should be a new node added to Perl Monks called something like "Perl Literature" and release Perl programmers on classic literature :).

    To be perfectly honest, I've never read the book, I just
    thought it was funny. I used my l33tsp34k program to
    convert a copy of the book from http://promo.net/pg/
    Project Gutenberg.
    As to your suggestion regarding classic literature, it
    sounds like it could work. Shakespeare could easily fit under
    obfu perl though <g>. Seriously though, maybe we're onto something.

    Vroom, if you're listening, we need a Perl Poetry subset for literature!

      Hahaha :). It is an excellent script :). I've never read the book either :), that first line always bugged me :).
