With much hard work I have come up with a new package... Crypt::1337, I feel it is my duty to give back to the community and what better than a new form of encryption only idiots could use? Now, keep in mind this is an alpha version, and does lose a bit of formatting... but returns messages in readble format...

package Crypt::1337;

use base Exporter;
@EXPORT = qw(to_1337 from_leet);

sub to_1337 {
    my($str) = lc $_[0];
    $str =~ s/\bto\b/2/g;
    $str =~ s/ate/8/g;
    $str =~ tr/letasbgo/13745690/;
    $str;
};

sub from_leet {
    @str = split /(\s+)/, lc $_[0];
    for (@str) {
        next if /\s/;
        $_ = 'to' if $_ == 2;
        $_ = 'a' if $_ == 4;
        next if(/^\d+$/ && $_ !~ /3?1337/);
        s/8/ate/g;
        s/8/to/g;
        tr/13745690/letasbgo/;
    }
    join '', @str;
}

and for an example script....

use Crypt::1337;

my $enc = to_1337("This is a test, later\n");

print $enc;

my $unenc = from_leet($enc);

print $unenc;

Enjoy your 1337 h4ckin9.

This is, of course, a joke... :)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
