|Here is his code:

|*_=\$#;$/=q#(.)#;$#=10;$^X=~s|.*/||;$\=chr;$#=gmtime$#;substr($#,$^F#^F
|*$^F**$^F-1)=al;s$\$/( )\$/\$/$e\$2\u\$^X\$2\$3o\$1r$    && print time

|Anyway, when run, you indeed get "The Perl Journal" -- if you run it on a
|UNIX.  If you run it on a Mac, you get "Fre MacPerl Joirnal
|".  Hmmm ...

And if you run it on a VMS Alpha you get:

 The Dra0:[perl.perl5_003_04]perl.exe;1 Journal

Hmm...

By the way, has anyone out there seen an implementation of "BinHex" written
in Macperl?
