Re: perl v/s C

[liverpole]

The first time I saw the C version of this, I was amazed.  It was my first experience with obfuscated code in any language.

Here's my attempt at a Perlish version:

sub __{$_[0]=~y-=#&!~_`'.+,/<>():;?- .,eintsrahgldmfopv-;print@_}
sub _{($,,$:)=split/=/,$_[0],2;$* =$*?"$:$*":$:;__
"O_=`,!=$,=>+y=:)=C,r~'`(+'=(y=`.u!=<:?!=/+?!=`:=(!$/$*#$/$/"}map{_$_
}")~.'`=+=;+.`.~>/!=~_=+=;!+.=`.!!","'!c:_>=`w:=`u.`<!=>:?!'=+_>="
,"`,~.>=`,.!!=).!_c,=,!_'&=","):u.`,=):u.=c+<<~_/=b~.>'&$/"
,")~)`,=)~?!=/:<>!_=.~_/'&=","'~x`,='~x=/!!'!=+-<+y~_/&="

Wow, this is 90 chars shorter than what I get if I LZ77-compress it (see this old obfu of mine: LZ77 compression).

Kudos liverpole,
I knew one of the monk here could write the same with perl and am happy to see a result of my objective of posting it here. I have seen other obfuscations here and the best ever would be ...the Saturn rings ... which almost everyone has made it the best node ...
happy to just be here ( and 'hear' the prayers of other monks ), more happiness to contribute and much more happiness if i am blessed with a long life in this monastery.
