Re^3: 2014 Code Golf Challenge

I've not been able to make that work in any character set supported by any of my text editors

My console defaults to code page 850 (see the pic.)

What I did was print:
[0] Perl> print ~'2014';; ═¤╬╦

And then c&p the output back inside the string:
[0] Perl> print ~'═¤╬╦';; 2014

Presumably if you do the same thing on your local console you should be able to get the same effect although the displayed glyphs will be different. (Though I guess it won't work for Unicrap consoles :)

According to the StackExchange golfing rule book, you're allowed to assume perl is being run as `perl -M5.010`, so can use `say`. This takes the solution down to 10 bytes, beating even many of the esolangs, while still being pretty obvious how it works. `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's pretty much optimal, since Perl bitches about putting those things directly in your source, so you can't get rid of the quotes. What are you using as a REPL here?	[reply]

What are you using as a REPL here? An evolution of the 15 line script I wrote 10 years ago: <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread> It's pretty eclectic and in a constant state of flux; but it is by far the most used program on my system except possible my editor and browser both of which run constantly.
