OK, it looks like you'll have to walk me through this.
If I keep the lot, it works. Er, no... it prints the banner twice. I
thought the "regex" was a noop, apparently it's not. It must be
"equivalent" to the original code. What both do is take its own source,
replace most characters with "#", and print it out.
But how is the japh "generated" from this code? Are you saying there's a
"banner" program that turns plain source into this kind of weird shit?
Still with the original functionality as a perl script?
