I am an ASCII art novice. I would be interested to see ASCII art
of Larry Wall's head (about 70 characters wide if possible) --
just the head, not the body -- taken from his cartoon at:

http://www.geekculture.com/geekycomics/Aftery2k/fanclub/standups/actionfigur
es/larrywall.html

This is for use in the Perl CPAN Acme::EyeDrops module.

Andrew.

There are also some small pictures of Larry at the top of
http://www.wall.org/~larry/ .

Cheers,

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

	I am assuming that you want non-converted ASCII - yes?  Sadly, I
am also only a novice...

It seems what I would really like is a specialised subset of ASCII art,
namely ASCII art that also happens to be a valid Perl program.
By tracing Larry's head from the cartoon mentioned above, this is
the best I have come up with so far (a Perl "hello world" program).

                           ''=~('('.('?').
                       '{'.               (((
                  '`'))|                     '%'
                ).+(                           '['
              ^'-'                              ).(
            '`'|                                  '!'
          ).+(                                   (  '`'
         )|((                                    (   ','
        ))))                                  .+  (    '"'
      ).+(                                   (     (    '['

Just to clarify, I will gratefully accept any ASCII-art of Larry.
I will take care of converting it to valid Perl code.
I showed the "hello world" Perl code example just as an illustration
of how it might eventually be used.
