Inspired by Henry of Navarre's cipher posted the other day, I created a challenge cryptogram.
It is a monoalphabetic substitution cipher and the plaintext is English. The catch is that it includes a large number of nulls. I know once nulls are removed, modern computers would solve it in an instant. But I suppose trying every possible combination of 26 significant symbol numbers is not computationally feasible.
If someone succeeds in solving this, please let me know how this can be broken.

(To insert the null symbols, I used a Perl script generated by AI. Of course, I verified that the above can be decrypted correctly. Randomness based on the rand() function may not be ideal but I believe it served the purpose. On the other hand, when I first asked AI to create a random sequence, it failed my expectation.)
