in reply to Japh algebra

Try using lots of punctuation variables for short japhs, separate operators from their operands, use funny math to hide constants, take advantage of aliases and default arguments. I like the idea you had on this one, so here it is a little less clearly:
map{$;=1?$?-$?:t;$;=($_*$;+ord$&)%(2**7-$|) while(qq]%E.g\cle(WW7=k\ct[bqI\abJy3.%\ctG] =~m>.>g);$..=chr$;}++$|..26;s++$.+iii;print
