Play a bit more with the tie-breaker

#!perl -lp040
$^+=$^%1e3*(9x(3*y/dbl/ä/-4*/e/))||/te|ä/././*$+['	'!~($&^o&$')].$[x/y/}$_=$^;{s/\B..\d\b/,$&/&&redo

Seems to have an evil char again (strange. which one ?) Retry with binary upload

#!perl -lp040
$^+=$^%1e3*(9x(3*y/dbl/ä/-4*/e/))||/te|ä/././*$+['	'!~($&^o&$')].$[x/y/}$_=$^;{s/\B..\d\b/,$&/&&redo

The logical followup

#!perl -lp040
$^+=$^%1e3*(9x(3*y/dbl/d/-4*/e/))||/te|d/././*$+['	'!~($&^o&$')].$[x/y/}$_=$^;{s/\B..\d\b/,$&/&&redo

further sickification

another simply removable char

MM, previous attempt looses ^@. retry with file upload

sometimes it takes very long to see the obvious

5 more obvious characters to lose, then.

#!perl -lp040
$a+=$a%1e3*(9x(3*y/dbl//-4*/e/))||/te|lv/././+index(')"4 &37%.Q!',$&^V&$').$[x/y/}{$_=$a;1while s/\B..\d\b/,$&/

Forgot to drop useless chars

Encoding now with more nuts
