in reply to Mandelbrot set

I haven't de-obfuscated it yet (or even de-parsed it), but it's result is attractive enough to be appreciated as is. To me the cool thing was seeing "JUST ANOTHER PERL HACKER" in plaintext in the code, but then being pleasantly surprised by the output.

FYI I ran it in Windows (with no ANSI support) and it was garbled. I ran it in cygwin and - gorgeous!

I humbly seek wisdom.

    I personally believe it was not "garbled", simply your terminal didn't interpret ANSI escapes. I used Win32::Console::ANSI, and it runs like a charm.

        I personally believe that it's just as easy as

        C:\temp>perl -MWin32::Console::ANSI mandel.pl
