This should do it pretty much exactly the way they do it in the movies... #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w ################## use strict; use warnings; use PPI; use Term::ANSIColor qw( colored ); $\| = 1; my @files = values %INC; while ( time - $^T < 5 ) { my $doc = PPI::Document->new( splice( @files, rand( @files ), 1 ) ); $doc->prune( $_ ) for qw( PPI::Token::Pod PPI::Token::Comment PPI::Statement::Data PPI::Statement::End PPI::Statement::Include ); my @lines = split( "\n", $doc->serialize ); for ( splice( @lines, rand( @lines ), rand( 25 ) ) ) { next unless /\S/; next if /^\s1;\s$/; print "$_\n"; select( undef, undef, undef, 0.05 ); } } print " " x 20, colored( [qw( bold red blink )], " SECURITY PROTOCOLS BYPASSED, ACCESS GRANTED\n" ); [download] www.jasonkohles.com We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

Add `# Load ANSI driver if running in Windows. use if $^O eq 'MSWin32', 'Win32::Console::ANSI';` [download] and it becomes portable.	[reply] [d/l]

Devel::Trace prints perl statements as they execute, but I'm not sure about the movies.	[reply]

Movies just print the code from top to bottom, not "as it executes". `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Time::HiRes qw( sleep ); seek(DATA, 0, 0); while (<DATA>) { print; sleep(0.150) if !eof(DATA); } print("Hello World!\n"); __END__` [download] If you just want reams of computer gibberish, just download and build Perl. For lesser amounts, using the `cpan` tool to install just about any module should do.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
