Is there a misprint in post mortem?
Is the 2281-stroke "alternative" solution from Prakash Kailasa
or Gaulois Messire Andre Savigne?

As an improvement from 2281 to 755 strokes (3 shapes to 1),
I offer the following generator program, taken from chapter 3
of the upcoming O'Reilly book, "Perl Golf, EyeDrops and Exploding
EyeBalls" by Yanick Champoux and Andrew Savige (with a Flaming
Ostrich on the cover).

use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly);
print sightly({ SourceString => 'open$%;print+map{y;!-~;*;;$_}<0>',
                Regex        => 1,
                Compact      => 1,
                ShapeString  => <<'FLAMING_OSTRICHES' });

FLAMING_OSTRICHES

Of course, if anyone can further shorten "SourceString" above,
I would be delighted.
