I think we’re all in need of a little Christmas cheer right now (I certainly am, after spending the last few days trying to teach myself more Perl. There’s a reason why perl looks like comic characters swearing. Any language in which ”=~(‘(?{‘.(‘^[).)}’^’.)@@]]’).'”‘.(‘|.@[;*^’^’=@$)^]|’).’,$/})’) is actually a valid executable program has serious problems…) and so here’s my favourite stupid Christmas joke, from the pages of The Making Of The Goodies Disaster Movie…

I’m dying of curiosity — what does a program like that do??
Prints out my name (I think). I got it from an online ‘obfuscated Perl generator’.
