"Unbalanced" because of the unmatched parentheses, braces, and brackets. "Introspective" because ... well, you'll have to figure that out for yourself.

This works with Perl version 5.8.6 (in Linux), and 5.8.7 (in Windows), and possibly with other versions of Perl (though I can't be sure).

My apologies if this has been done before (and please let me know if so). I came up with the idea just this evening, but one can never be sure whether or not similar prior art exists.

( $ ||=  open$ ) ,$ ^X) ;; X :;
{ $ ;+=  print if ($_ = lc getc $))  eq# }
( split$ ,,q#- just another perl hacker# )
[ $ ;];  eof$  ( ?die$ /: redo } 060630# ]

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.
