Re: translation

[GoodTimeTribe]

Hrmm.. now, how to do the reverse.

I know you're wondering, "how new is NEW," but I'm a seasoned pascal and standard c programmer, who's busy schedule hasn't allow me to read much past strings in the manual, so I I've never heard of "tr".

peace be with you

I suspect we're being baited, but I'll bite. Write this as a normal Perl program:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$_="7P0>374;";
tr[0->][ LEOR!AUBGNSTY];
print;

It's setting the default variable to that goofball string and then translating the characters. If you process through the translation, you get a rude and uninspired message. I suspect that your boss is ribbing you, since a genuine obfuscator would cook up a more insulting or clever message. :)

Please can someone break down this translation for me?

perl -le '$_="7P0>374;";tr[0->][ LEOR!AUBGNSTY];print'

thanks

Perhaps your boss doesn't like you?
