Schwartz: Congrats to Randal! A great quote: "I can't really imagine waiting until 1997 to see all nine parts of the Star Wars series."

Try the changing the double-quotes into single quotes: printf('$%4.2f', $price); If that fixes it, the only explanation I could possibly have is that somewhere there is a %4 hash being defined.

At dinner with Merlyn the other night I told El Supremo, a.k.a Bobby Kleeman, that I'd come up with a JAPH to talk about. These are suggestions for backup material for tonight's meeting, not intended as questions for the list. --------------------------- perl -Mstrict -we '$_ = "goto F.print chop;\n=rekcaH lreP rehtona tsuJ";F1:eval' --------------------------- You can easily see that "Just another Perl Hacker" is backwards, but how does it output? The message spelled backwards also seemed attractive to the author of this other JAPH, who said: My program is impossible to understand even if you fix it up with good formatting and reasonable variable names. What is @P for? Why does it have the value ".URRUU\c8R"? If you think you understand this program, but you can't explain @P, then you are mistaken, because @P is the central data structure of the entire program --------------------------- @P=split//,".URRUU\c8R";@d=split//,"\nrekcah xinU / lreP rehtona tsuJ";sub p{ @p{"r$p","u$p"}=(P,P);pipe"r$p","u$p";++$p;($q*=2)+=$f=!fork;map{$P=$P[$f^or d ($p{$_})&6];$p{$_}=/ ^$P/ix?$P:close$_}keys%p}p;p;p;p;p;map{$p{$_}=~/^[P.]/&& close$_}%p;wait until$?;map{/^r/&&<$_>}%p;$_=$d[$q];sleep rand(2)if/\S/;print --------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Bob Kleemann [mailto:rkleeman@energoncube.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 10:15 AM To: Anthony Kilna Cc: san-diego-pm-list@happyfunball.pm.org Subject: Re: I presume the meeting is tomorrow ~sdpm~ Yes, I'm sorry I haven't put out a meeting notice until now.
