    Note that since 26 is not divisible by 10, the characters will change dramatically with each new digit. So perl will appear at some point, then disappear when you add one more digit.

    (This calculation is not the same as working out what PI is in base 26. To do that you would need to rewrite the code to use Math::Fleximal and base 26 calculations everywhere.)
