I actually executed this (more fool me, not knowing what the hell it did). What I find very interesting is that it printed: Just another Prl ehacker
The problem is that 'quoted printable' thing again; an '=' got converted to '=3D'. Upon removing the 3D, it prints: Just another Perl hacker
How's that for a resilient language! (my guess is it turned up in a regex and the regex just didn't match, but I can't be bothered to read that code).
Incidentally, my $.02 on the write-only language bit; this is how I'd write the above, and I think many people would agree this bit o' Perl is a clear, well structured and elegant solution to the problem: perl -e 'print "Just another Perl hacker\n"'
Show me a language clearer than that...

Yes, it arrived unchanged here so I don't know what happened on its way to you.

Of course I agree with you - but as Peter Snow would say ...

Have a look at where his mail is coming from, then look at the machines it is passing through on the way, then you will see it is probably an email server somewhere doing stupid conversions.

how about
echo "Just another Perl hacker"
or
10 print "Just another Perl hacker
or #include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Just another Perl hacker\n"); return 0; }
or
import java.*;
class hello_hacker { public static main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Just another Perl hacker"); } }
OK I know I'm sad, I'll go play with Tux in a corner
Thanks
