I have been programming in perl for several years.
I like programming in perl.
This is my most upvoted node. And my first post, too. I hadn't learnt how to create a user account at that state. (Boy, does it look bad now - must revisit it at some stage to fix bugs, and shorten it a bit)
Maximillian tells me to do horrible things. I try to ignore him.
If anyone remembers a webcomic of the early 00s called 'Trevor the cat' that was me.
I like the trickery of perl golf..
Here's a thing to print out all the valid permutations of a number of pairs of parentheses (don't try it on a number bigger than 7, it's also quite a good machine killer):
$c-=fork?$c?s//(/:exit:- s//)/for($_)x(2*pop);$c||print
This won me $25 in the fonality competition:
-lp map{y/IVXLC/XLCDM/,s!\d!$&^4?$&^9?V x($&>3).I x($&%5):IX:IV!ewhile//;$$_=$n++}@d=0..4e3;y/m/-/;s/\w+/+${$&}/g;$_=$d[eval]
Although I completely missed the excellent trickery of 4x$&%1859^7 which might have saved me four or five strokes!
Some of my other solutions (prizes for working out what the problem was!)
-lpaF| for$i(0..19){$s{$_ x($i>13).($i%7).$_ x($i>6&$i<13).(6-$.).$_ x($i<6)}|=$F[$i]for 0..5}}{$_=grep/X/,%s
pos=$i++/2,//g,print"$`",$_=reverse,/^$'/?$/:redo for pop
-l $k=(pop)x99;print+map{$k=~s///;(uc..Z,@a=A..$&)[$#a]}<>=~/\pL/g
$_=$"x map$b.='-',2..pop;$t=$t?"$`/$_/$'|

p.s. if you recognize the Maximillian action figure from the Black Hole, you might be interested in joining my Yahoo group for collecting like stuff (group)
