uksza has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Pious Monks,

I've heard about funny attribute people's perception.
Look at this:
I tnhik you know what I am wintirg to you. But I must rbemeer to keep fsirt and last lteerts on the plcae and do not tucoh sorht wdors.
It's nice, istn't?
So, I try to write function to do it:
sub perception() { my @result; my @words = split / /, shift @_; foreach my $word (@words) { if ( length $word < 5 ) { push @result, $word; next; } my @toRandomize = split //, $word; my $letters = ( ( scalar @toRandomize ) - 1 ); $letters-- if $word =~ /\W$/; for ( my $i = 1 ; $i < $letters ; $i++ ) { my $rnd = ( 1 + ( int rand( $letters - 2 ) ) ); my $temp = $toRandomize[$i]; $toRandomize[$i] = $toRandomize[$rnd]; $toRandomize[$rnd] = $temp; } push @result, join( '', @toRandomize ); } return join ' ', @result; }
What are you think about this?
How can I do it better?
And, how to work with words like "your's", "you're" etc.? - " ' " should stay on the place. $letters-- if $word =~ /\W$/;
if ( $word =~ /\W+/) { $letters = (index $word, $&)-1; }
Stay in peace and wisdom, monks.
Uksza

P.S.
Is my code styl good? Not to much "talkative"?
