in reply to Unbalanced, Introspective Japh

I never suspected that that sentence would be found in $^X :). On my system it takes a second to print it, then waits for some 30 more until it ends. Changing the eof test for something like 26==$; makes it end at the approppriate moment, although it's maybe less obfuscated. Can also do something more cluttered like $]*$]<$;, trading some of the whitespace magic.

    That's very interesting, and it's different from my system, where there's only a brief, almost undiscernable pause while printing "just", and the program ends immediately after printing the final word.  I'm guessing it's either because I have a faster processor or a different version of Perl.

    It was intentional that I didn't implement any tests which were more likely to depend on the specific version of Perl running, as that might have needlessly broken the program for other versions of Perl.  Which version of Perl *are* you running, by the way?
