I'm contemplating about this very little piece of Perl code. I'm already more than a little bit proud of it, but I wondered if the venerated Monks had suggestions to make it even shorter:
print"@ARGV"=~s|.|$_=2+index'temaniowkugrdsXjyüqäxvöpcfzlbh',lc$&;$Q=
1.45*log;$_-=1<<$Q;for($O='';--$Q>0;$_/=2){$O.=chr$_%2+45}"$O "|ger
Try it with some text as command line arguments.
Especially I'm curious about:
- Is there any way to avoid initializing $O?
- I use $Q=1.45*log to approximate the number of bits in $_. Any shorter way?
Every comment is very much appreciated!

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).
