Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES
But it'll do for wandering around aimlessly


This one goes out to all the programmers out there. You know who you are (though some of you might not admit it.) This is the third in a series, and this time is harder still (I think.) It may or may not be OS dependent...but it shouldn't.
 

Note: The final coordinates have been slightly updated to make the cache safer to retrieve. From parking coordinates (given when solving the puzzle) you will not have to walk on pavement. Thanks for Spatial Distortion for the suggestion to relocate the cache.

sub cc{ $z=shift; chr $z }; $n=$ARGV[0]; $o=$ARGV[1]; $q=$ARGV[2];
@c=($q,$n+$q,5+$q,$q*$n,$n, 4*$q,$o-5,0/$o,$o,$o/$o); $b=cc 29*$n;
@c=reverse @c;$s=cc 4*4*$q;$p=cc 23*$q;$d=$c[0];$l=$c[8];$i=$c[5];
$f=$c[2]; $g=$c[3];$h=$c[4];$e=$c[1];$j=$c[6];$k=$c[7];$a=cc 13*6;
$m = $c[9]; $x="$a$s$g$f$s$d$e$p$h$d$f$s$b$s$f$k$l$s$d$h$p$l$m$l";
sub dd { $z=shift; print $z }; dd " \n$s$s$s$x$s$s$s\t\t\t\t \n ";
