tl;dr: is-character.pl

Yesterday I became curious about what Conway's Game of Life structures might sound like on a grid of musical notes ("note-space").
This weekend I watched Dr Hannah Fry's documentary on game theory, and was inspired by her discussion of Robert Axelrod's tournament to simulate the iterated prisoner's dilemma (IPD) for myself.
Today I became curious about the relative frequencies of the digits that appear in prime numbers (in base 10).
Naturally, I wrote a little program to show the answer - digit-freq2:
The other day I stumbled across the Wikipedia entry for Halstead software complexity and became curious about how the language Perl would measure up.
Now I knew the adage that "only perl can parse perl", but I also knew about the PPI set of modules on the CPAN. So I got to reading/experimenting...
