In occasion of first day of Spring* i give you the first issue of perl obfupoetry:

who can guess the poem without running it?

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; our @life = (0..70); my $self = { age => $life[int($#life/2)], # #078101108032109101122122111032100101108032099097109109 #105110032100105032110111115116114097032118105116097 # remember => sub{scalar @_}, }; our $wood = { dark=>1, #109105032114105116114111118097105032112101114032117110 #097032115101108118097032111115099117114097 # straight_way => undef, #099104101039032108097032100105114105116116097032118105 #097032101114097032115109097114114105116097046 # # wild=>1, rough=>1, stubborn=>1, inside=>[], }; while ( $self->{'age'} ){ push @{$wood->{'inside'}},$self; if (scalar @$wood{qw(wild rough stubborn)}) { #065104105032113117097110116111032097032100105114032113 #117097108032101114097032101039032099111115097032100117114097 # for (@$wood{qw(wild rough stubborn)}) { #101115116097032115101108118097032115101108118097103103 #105097032101032097115112114097032101032102111114116101 # $self->{'fear'}+= $$self{remember}->($_); #099104101032110101108032112101110115105101114032114105 #110111118097032108097032112097117114097033 # # } } last; } END { seek DATA,0,0; while (<DATA>){ print "\n" if /^#$/; s/^#//; print map {chr 0+$_} ($_=~/\d{3}/g); } } __DATA__

Enjoy!

(*)please do not reply with positivist comments about the exact first day of Spring: seasons always start in day 21: the notion was in my mind when thumbs were still there..

L*

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

    A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    Wow, I had no idea that Robert Frost's most famous snippets are almost directly from Dante! If he (Frost) were my student I would fail him for plagiarism :P


    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
