[geekery] Unicode character names and Perl

"Hmm," I thought. "What's the longest character name in Unicode?"*

( the answer**, and the Perl one-liner that computes it )

* I actually had a good reason to ask this question, but that's a story for another time.

** Actually, this might be one of several that tie for the title.

Mind Guard: Advanced Active Anti-Psychotronic (AAP) software for Amiga and Linux users.

MindGuard is a program for Amiga and Linux computers that protects your mind by actively jamming and/or scrambling psychotronic mind-control signals and removing harmful engrammic pollutants from your brain. It also has the ability to scan for and decipher into English specific signals so you can see exactly Who wants to control you and what They are trying to make you think.

MindGuard works by leveraging your computer's aluminum-based innards to both detect and emit psychotronic energy using advanced quasi-quantum techniques. Once a mind-control signal is identified and analyzed, MindGuard can generate a specially tuned anti-signal that will jam the incomming signal. If MindGuard is unable to properly identify the signal, it will generate psychotronic white noise to ensure the signal's harmful message is scrambled.
