Transliteration is what you're trying to do- map one set of characters onto another set. Specifically, you're trying to implement rot6, a transliteration cipher (not much of an encryption, btw). tr///, aka y///, uses the second set of characters to replace their counterparts from the first set. `my $word = "abc"; $abc =~ tr/acb/llo/; print $word;` [download] yeilds: lol	[reply] [d/l]
