While I could not squeeze this down to a one 80 char line, there is only
one line that does not begin with a # :-)

#!perl -l
$\=~s#(.*)\n#"$1(\n"x($1=~y/(//<$a)."$1)\n"x($1=~y/)//*2<$_-1)
#gefor 1..2*($a=pop);print


I tried to do the generation by hand, implemented that method as a
regex, and polished (or should I say disfigured) the result with a
couple of standard golfing tricks. Notice the lack of escaped parens,
btw :-)

There are probably a couple of mrmagoos there, at least you could lose
a couple of chars (along with any perceived one-linerness) by replacing
the "\n":s with literal newlines.

Cheers,
