Sorry about your eyes…
What that said was:
Hey everyone I wrote a bit of obsfucated perl that translates even the best written prose into something that blends in more with the average livejournal post
Remember, if you need any custom perl programming, my contact information is in my userinfo🙂
#!/usr/bin/perl
while($_=uc <STDIN>){$_=~s/S /Z /g;$_=~s/\s*([A-Z,0-9]+)\s*/~x$1x~/g;$_=~s/E/3/g;$_s=~s/I/1/g;$_=~s/$/!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneoneone/;print $_; };
(The next program reverses the effect)
#!/usr/bin/perl
while($_=<STDIN>){$_=~s/!+1+oneoneone//g;$_=~s/~x([A-Z,0-9]+)x~/ $1 /g;$_=~s/Z /S /g;$_=~s/3/E/g;$_s=~s/1/I/g;print lc $_; };
hey, how hard is it to write a perl script to take info from a webpage and mail it to ya?
it's about 5 minutes of work
what about for someone who doesn't know perl?
Fun way to kill an evening to pick up the basics, then about 10 minutes.
hmmm, can you recomend a good book?
My favorite is "Programming Perl", but others have said that "Learning Perl" is good. It all depends on whether you learn from reference material like I do, or whether you learn from instructional material.
Either way, if you intend to program more than a few programs, you'll want to have a copy of "Programming Perl" on your desk as a reference. It contains wonderful examples on how to initiate TCP/IP connections, how to write servers, how to sort data, how to manipulate files and data, etc. And it describes every function with an example use printed below the description.
cool thanks
no problem, and if you ever have a question, you can hit me here, or on IRC (irc.cwru.edu/#mi2600)
just a heads up, but the fact that this post is one Very Long Line breaks the shit out of Safari's rendering. my friends page is now 3-4 screens wide to accomodate that line of text. 🙂
I write to publish. Does that look better?
You've taken the art out of lamerspeak dude…
