Hi Geoff and welcome to ExTS

 

May I ask - are you a cacher trying to solve Obfuscation II ( Yorkshire )

[DGPowell]

Hi, KenB,

 

Yes, half of D&GPowell.

 

I've been trying to solve this ever since it was published. I'm sure it has something to do with perl, but not being a programmer I can not get it to print!!

Hi Geoff

 

Good to meet another cacher ( Ken-B [from Wirral] ) ......very original caching name :)

I have come to the conclusion that it is Perl too.

I sent a text to a friend of mine who knows a few computer languages - but he is as confused as us.

 

I will try again :)

 

You can d/l Perl from here and have a go at copying the code in so that you can have a go at printing it

http://strawberryperl.com/

 

There is a Perl forum here:

http://forums.devshed.com/perl-programming-6/

 

You could register and ask there.

I would be interested to know what it means.

Hi Ken,

 

I've been given the following web page, http://codepad.org/.

 

It is Perl as we expected, all you need to do to get the answer is cut & paste -> submit.

 

Then copy and paste that result into a browser.

 

Good Luck

Hi Geoff

 

I had bit.ly/183j59 ages ago but it didn't make any sense - even Googling it.

 

I now have the co-ords but probably will never be able to sign the log - living on the Wirral as I do.

 

Glad that you solved the riddle at long last :)

Hi Ken,

 

Some times is the satisfaction of solving the puzzle. It is very close to us so we hope to find it tomorrow.

 

Geoff.

I have put a note on the Obfuscation II log page for you :)
