NAME
oy - a useful method for printing the string "the perl journal";

SYNOPSIS
oy

DESCRIPTION
oy carefully peruses the English alphabet and extracts the elements of the string "the perl journal" from it, reordering them by computer scientific stack operations to come out in the order "the perl journal" with appropriate eye-friendly spaces interspersed to aid in reading the text.

Alphabetic incrementation is used to scan most of the alphabet. The incrementation starts with the letter 'a' which is assigned to the default variable $_ by character substitution.

Uneeded characters are passed over with a next loop operator, so the autoincrement happens before the next. This means that the character pattern manipulations are in effect working on a "rot1" encryption of the character that is actually going into the array.

Needed characters are added to the array, then moved around with array operator. In a surprising denouement, the array is printed in bulk to stdout.
