<
programming> A
Perl program which prints "
Just another Perl
hacker" using extremely obfuscated methods, typically ones
based on obscure behaviours of sometimes rarely-used functions,
in the spirit of the
Obfuscated C Contest.
The obfuscation can result from the code being total
gibberish, e.g.:
$_="krJhruaesrltre c a cnp,ohet";$_.=$1,print$2while s/(..)(.)//;
or from having "
Just another Perl hacker" embedded in opaque
code:
$_='987;s/^(d+)/$1-1/e;$1?eval:print"
Just another Perl hacker,"';eval
or from looking like it does something simple and completely
unrelated to printing "
Just another Perl hacker":
$_ = "wftedskaebjgdpjgidbsmnjgc";
tr/a-z/oh, turtleneck Phrase Jar!/; print;
