[Matthew Byng-Maddick]

This is the Cam.Pm Beerfestival Obfuscated Perl Programming Contest.

The prize is that I will buy all the drinks for whoever I think should win
all night at the next meet that I make (which means that the winner should
also try and make the relevant meet :-)

The rules of the contest are fairly simple, below, I have drawn a beer glass
in `#' signs. Any of the hash signs must be filled by a non-whitespace
character, and no whitespace or null position must be filled by anything
other than a whitespace. The shebang line is not included in this, and is
not a necessary part of the submission. The contest is open from the moment
that this message goes out until midnight BST on June 2nd (ie. June 1st
23:59:59 is OK), and the challenge is to produce the most interesting
piece of code. It is open to everyone except Lucy and I, who will be
judging it, and the winner will be announced at the appropriate meeting.
Obviously, if you want to claim your prize, you will have to go to the
meeting. :-) (no cash equivalents etc). The image may not be shifted to
the left in any way, so if you want to rely on the spacing, it must be the
spacing below.

Submissions to oppc@cam.pm.org, and they will be confidential until the
winners are announced.

Despite the name, solutions do not have to be obfuscated, but the most
interesting will win the "prize". (and yes, I do intend to honour this.)

MBM (not at all drunk, surprisingly, for such a stupid suggestion)
