I know BrowserUK stated "including all switches and other CLI syntax", but I'm not sure that includes the arguments to the program itself and the space before it. Those are constants other than the length of the argument. Perhaps we need that clarified.

If that really counts we can trim one character just by making it 6 or 8 digits instead of 10 or 16. If not, you're down to 119.

While we're clarifying minor rule variations, mine doesn't use any command-line switches to perl, so I was counting on it being in a file and not counting the ' -e'. Do I then need to count the '#!' or the name of the file? If so, just run perl and paste my solution into STDIN. ;-) Do I then need to count the ctrl-D for end of file?
