You are still assuming that a unique mapping is possible, but it isn't.

I investigated a little about what symbols and numbers people use to substitute to alphabetic characters, and I had this table:

a/A: @,4
b/B: 6,8,&
d/D: 0
e/E: 3,&
f/F: #
g/G: 9
h/H" #
i/I: 1,l
j/J: 1
l/L: 1
o/O: 0
p/P: 9
q/Q: 9
s/S: $,5
t/T: +
z/Z: 2,7,%

As you can see, a single letter can map to three characters, and a single symbol can map to many characters...

A solution could be a junction, but we are speaking about Perl 5, and junctions will come with Perl 6... Any Perl 5 solution of this problem?

Ciao!

The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).

Junctions are called Quantum::Superpositions in Perl 5 :)
