I have been since you made me aware of it. Now I'm stuck on number 5 but I don't want to say why or I might give away what you need to do.

It really is a neat concept though.

So you're doing it in Perl ?

Yes. I need to research what the Python should do and then I can rewrite it in Perl.

There. I didn't give away the clue. :)

After reading this post, I couldn't help trying... got to level 8th so far using only perl (except for a bit in the 5th).

A little comment/question for those who have made it through level 5

(Warning: big spoilers for level 5!):
Did Python::Serialise::Pickle actually work for you? It wasn't working right for me :( what version have you been using? perhaps another module?

So far I'm up to level 14... Level 5 sure was a tricky one and required some research, as in, finding the name of a certain python module and then looking for one with a similar behaviour on CPAN... (lucky it was there, else it would have been really hard, since I don't know a single bit of Python)...

For those really needing a hint for level 5:
Look on CPAN for a Module starting with Python::
