yes, and i was actually a little bit disappointed because
perlgolf played such a little role at thomas' obfu-talk.
he presented eugene's rpn-solution and wanted to try it
(copy and paste into his editor), but couldn't get it
to work (because of a linebreak he forgot in the last
line which was very important). at that moment i really
thought golf is cool because it's not only difficult to
understand but also difficult to run it if you change the code-
"layout", and this is clearly an obfu-requirement.
