Generate frost patterns on your Windows PC.
Sorry. I wanted to try out the Win32::Console library. If you
don't have a Windows PC, you can always check this
sample output.
Put a
Music Ticker on your web site. That
way you can pretend someone's reading it. That's what I do.
Here's the code for an
Address Parser. It's pretty useful
for turning a list of addresses into a machine readable format --
I used it for my wedding's invitations through Microsoft Word's
Mail Merge. It does make a few assumptions about address layout;
feel free to hack and slash to your heart's content if it doesn't
quite serve your needs.
Eh, maybe these itty-bitty scripts will be useful to someone.
They're on the order of magnitude of one liners, but I'm posting them anyway. Woo.
- Pipe into this filter to do a simple
substitution cipher.
Fun for making puzzles.
- Encode and decode rot13 text
with this filter. Fun for reading spoilers.
Here's the source for a Buzzword Bingo
card generator, for those long, boring corporate meetings.
(That seems a bit redundant, actually.) Run --
ASCII or
HTML.
Enjoy.
The Perl Journal
had a contest a while back, wherein you were required to write a library
which implemented a function to convert Roman to Arabic
numerals. Here's the
wrapper they provided, and here's the
library I wrote. I got an
honorable mention for an interesting abuse of the language. Whee.
