comment on

Thanks - that's great! I think perhaps code is easier to make into "shapes" than data... there's more scope for "tricks" like comments and such like. Maybe that's where I was going wrong...

As a side note, I think you've made an outstanding improvement from your last entry

Cheers. I've only just started looking at all the many ways of obfuscating - it's a totally different way of thinking, isn't it?

I especially like your use of the semicolon as your regex separator

Yeah, I wanted to use $; instead of $= as well - but I just couldn't make it work in the regexp!

and your cryptic use of the $@ variable

I saw that idea somewhere else, ages ago - can't remember who or where. To be honest I only tested this in v5.8.0 - no idea if it still works in other versions!

Have a good (long, if in the UK) weekend, everyone!

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.
