Yep, basically description is right.

ord=~/^[1-@ARGV]/&&print"$'/$&
"for"[QG=3\\)H\37S4I^\25_J5U K+a6ALWb\13"=~/./g

(in original code all \number things are replaced by hardcoded asciis,
so the final length is 71)

Table approach is known for golf (check also Ton's Maxigolf 1 "Stones"
at http://www.xs4all.nl/~thospel/golf/maxigolf1.html ), so i decided
to try it.

'normal' order,    chr (first_digit * 10 + second_digit)
gives value with ascii code 13 that could cause problems anywhere with
copying/pasting, so opposite order was used.

Needless to say, Ton's winning solution is much more interesting.
It reveals darkest corners of mystical @{ } constuct, and shows
secret ways of alien's mind operations.
