  This is very nice (I didn't know about \B either); how randomly does
that scramble? I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on that.

  Cheers,

 So is it unintentional that you can localize through an expression
 resulting in a glob?

Er... I'd say it's correct but only half intentional.

I am sorry for the duplicate, this was sent yesterday from an address

In which case I can beat:

-pX s#\B\w+\B#join,map chop,sort map{rand.$_}$=~/./g#eg

With:

-p s#\B\w+\B#join,values%{{map{rand,$_}$=~/./g}}#eg

Not very. The sort{rand 2} trick has been rejected in golfs before.

I don't know about current perl versions, but in older perl versions,
that'd lose elements, double up on elements, or even coredump.
