Mephisto that's really amazing

>>  Andrew Savige said on 07/03/05 15:30:50

Andrew Savige beer guy: As for how this works, first notice
that Perl regular expressions are much more
powerful than traditional regular expressions:
you can, for example, execute Perl code inside
a regular expression, allowing you to solve
problems once thought "impossible" to solve
with regexps, such as matching arbitrarily
deeply nested parens ... or executing a
complete 99 bottle of beer program inside
a regexp. :-)
Second, notice that dynamic languages (such
as Perl and many others) allow you to build a
code string from an expression, then compile
and execute it on the fly. In this case, the
rather long expression is a series of
bit-twiddling operations joined together
with the string concat operator (.) producing
a 99 bottle of beer program string.
BTW, as this is a constant expression, the
Perl parser sees it more clearly than the
human reader (as you will discover if you
run perl -MO=Deparse beer.pl).

Adramelek Brilliant.

>>  Brain said on 07/28/05 09:41:00

Brain Here is the original program:

use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly get_eye_string hjoin_shapes);
my $ninety_nine = <<'BURP';
$==pop||99;--$=;sub
_{($;=($=||No)." bottle"."s"x!!--$=." of beer")." on the wall"}
print+_,", $;!
Take one down, pass it around,
",_,"!

"while++$=
BURP
chop($ninety_nine); $ninety_nine =~ s/\nprint/print/;
print sightly( { Regex         => 1,
                 Compact       => 1,
                 ShapeString   => hjoin_shapes(2,
                                  (get_eye_string('bottle2'))x6),
                  SourceString  => $ninety_nine } );

It wasnt listed here but is interesting non the less, so i posted it here for reference (and for those who are too lazy to go to cpan)

>>  Brain said on 07/29/05 16:54:25

Brain Please see here http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-perl-658.html for the original bottled perl. This bottled perl script was made by passing the original perl script through a module, whereas the other bottled perl script was made by hand, which imho is a lot more impressive and deserving of merit.

>>  Andrew Savige said on 07/30/05 00:19:11

Andrew Savige Brain: I would agree with you if someone used a module written by somebody else. In this case, however, I wrote the module.
And writing a module capable of converting almost
any Perl program into almost any shape is imho a
lot "more impressive and deserving of merit" than
a script kiddie running around asking his friends
to vote for his script and downvote others. ;-)

>>  lowercase said on 01/01/06 20:03:43

lowercase Awesome. I have just one question. The common-lisp program looks similiar. I mean, it also comes inside a bottle. I just wanted to know who did it first.

>>  Andrew Savige said on 01/08/06 03:52:53

Andrew Savige lowercase: To answer your question, I wrote mine in 2003, without having seen any of the other entries, and submitted it to this site two years later. I don't know when the Common Lisp one was written. Notice that these are not the only two entries shaped like a beer bottle; "Perl (bottled version)", for example, was created in 2001. I was hanging out at Perl Monks at the time (see http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=397958) so it felt completely normal (not original at all) to shape the code like a beer bottle. :-) It is perhaps more appropriate to honour the first person to get the crazy idea of pouring code into an ascii art shape. I don't know the answer to that either, but it was certainly being done in the 1980s, as evidenced by http://www.ioccc.org/1989/roemer.c and http://www.ioccc.org/1984/laman.c. HTH.

John This language, "Language Perl(bottled by Acme::EyeDrops)", should be esoteric. It can't be maintained as it is. Perl can. This is just EyeDrops obfuscating the source. Please consider making this esoteric.

Gish Mauricio: Mario is looking at the perl above and saying it sucks. It's misrepresented as perl and I can see why he says that. This is not a representation of what perl looks like and I don't think it even has a place on this site other that a footnote.
