    The message would be somewhat less readable if you used letters instead of numbers, such as like this:

    $|=$_="1jrucsita zavntogtrhoearc tdlujmubv fhuamczk6eprs",map{print"\0 +",chop;select$,,$,,$,,9/ord}m{..}g;

    It's a pity you didn't stick to the traditional phrase, because I quite like the technique.
      I think it makes its point quite nicely. Its good to remind people of the basics occassionally.

    Its pretty easy to read the message in the code - the brain just filters out the numbers. Not very obfuscated. Spoiled the surprise of the clever message...
