I've got
sub f {
($x,$y)=@_;print$x--while$x>=$y
}
So that's a hole in 32, although it only works for numbers, so it's not a literal implementation of
.. reversed.

Update: I may have misunderstood the original question so here's my second (possibly more accurate?) shot
perl -le '$_=ord$/;print$_--while$_'
Which comes to 26, and satisfies
chipmunk's need for ouput :o)
Update 2: I've just noticed my solution is exactly the same aforementioned monk, except I've used $_ instead of $a as my var name (I had hoped to exploit $_ in some way ...). Spooky.
