the output it is having trouble finding the upside down equivalent to ...

If you want to have any text (really) rotated upside down or mirrored you probably should consider Latex. It is probably the easier option keeping the text format (avoiding to convert all stuff to an image), thus you can still search for (most of) the text. Please note that this will not print directly to a terminal, instead a pdf with the text placed exactly as you want (in your wildest formating's dreams) will be created.

---- file example.tex
\documentclass[40pt]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}

Perlmonks
\reflectbox{Perlmonks}\\
\rotatebox{92}{Perlmonks}
\rotatebox{68}{{\bf Perlmonks}}
\reflectbox{\rotatebox{60}{Perlmonks}}

\end{document}
--- end of file example.tex

To use, (install miktex and..) run in a shell as: pdflatex example.tex

And then simply open example.pdf with your favourite pdf's viewer

See MikTex and also Latex::Driver

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
