Speaking of ugly code

The following violates many coding principals that I normally hold true to, but it was actually cool to code using the string variables as a stack.


#!/usr/bin/perl

# print hostlets
#
# 192.168.$i.0
$titan = "";
for ($i = 0; $i < 11; $i++) {
        $j = 0;
        $l = 0;
        $m = 0;
        $n = 0;
        $monster = "";
        $groupzilla = "";
        while ($j < 256) {
                $monster .= " hostlet_" . $i . "_" . $l;

                print "hostlet_" . $i . "_" . $l . " ";
                for ($k = 0; $k < 10 && $j < 256; $k++) {
                        print "(192.168.$i.$j,,) ";
                        $j++;
                }
                print "\n";
                $l++;

                if (($l % 5 == 0) || $j >= 255) {
                        $groupzilla .= " monster_" . $i . "_" . $m;
                        print "monster_" . $i . "_" . $m . $monster . "\n";
                        $monster = "";
                        $m++;
                }
        }

        $titan .= " groupzilla_" . $i;
        print "groupzilla_" . $i . $groupzilla . "\n";
}

print "titan" . $titan . "\n";
