yes, and i was actually a little bit disappointed because perlgolf played such a little role at thomas' obfu-talk. he presented eugene's rpn-solution and wanted to try it (copy and paste into his editor), but couldn't get it to work (because of a linebreak he forgot in the last line which was very important). at that moment i really thought golf is cool because it's not only difficult to understand but also difficult to run it if you change the code- "layout", and this is clearly an obfu-requirement. tina -- http://www.tinita.de/ \ enter__| |__the___ _ _ ___ http://Movies.tinita.de/ \ / _` / _ \/ _ \ '_(_-< of http://PerlQuotes.tinita.de/ \ \ _,_\ __/\ __/_| /__/ perception
