Re: Somersaulting camel

[eyepopslikeamosquito]

Update: Creating an EyeDrops-generated camel inevitably degenerates into a golf crack-pipe smoking session on the source text. So it has proved here. Golfing the original source program has allowed me to support a new 'back-flip' command-line argument as follows:

perl camel.pl            camel forward somersaults as before
perl camel.pl b          camel somersaults backwards
perl camel.pl please do a backward somersault
                         same thing

camel.pl:

camel.pl above was created with:

perl gencamel.pl >camel.pl

where gencamel.pl is:

use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly);
my $src = <<'END_SRC_STR';
$~=pop||'';open$%;
y,!-~,#,,s,(.).,$+,gs,$~&&($_=reverse)for@~=grep$|--,('')x18,<0>;

END_SRC_STR
$src =~ tr/\n//d;
my $prog = sightly( { Regex         => 1,
                      Compact       => 1,
                      Shape         => 'camel',
                      SourceString  => $src } );
my @a = split(/\n/, $prog);
my $max = 0; length > $max and $max = length for @a;
$_ .= ' ' x ($max - length) for @a;
print " $_ \n" for @a;

One more thing: camel.pl should still work if you add a leading #!/usr/bin/perl -w line followed by a single blank line; if you don't add the blank line, the camel may lose one eye and somersault erratically.
