I liked it! Less is more... but in this case more is more, too. It relies for its aesthetic impact on the overwhelming preponderance of backslashes relative to anything else, and for that reason I might have been inclined to use

print chr length $_ for "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
