I considered this recursive approach too but never got anything
decent. The rules were maybe slightly vague on this intricacy, but
couldn't you have shaved two off with this?
`./$0`
It would have passed the test program, and run fine from the
command-line via `perl secret.pl', but not via `./secret.pl' :-)
Don't know whether the judges would have accepted it.
