f77coder has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hello

in general if people could post some hellishly complicated one-liners, I'd like to have a go at trying to figure them out

no perl equivalent of fork bombs, thanks

:(){ :|:& };: or
bomb() { bomb | bomb & }; bomb

    a quine I wrote a few years ago. Note that it uses no punctuation.
    s zzs vvxv and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s SxSlcfirstSe and s YZZxZYvvxvYi and print z and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s SxSlcfirstSe and s YZZxZYvvxvYi and print

    Dave.

    Hi f77coder,

    Many of these are not exactly one-liners, but figuring out some of these JAPH scripts (Update: also, super search, or of course) could be fun :-) This one is my relatively simple contribution:

    perl -le "print map+chr 63+oct reverse,reverse+sort+0xbbddcb=~m~..~g"

    There are actually lots of variations on the same principle, so naturally I wrote a generator script, these just a few examples of currently more than 2000 ;-)

    perl -le "print map+chr 22+oct reverse,reverse+sort+0x21a111a=~m~..~g" perl -le "print map+chr 23+reverse,sort+0xe8a8ea=~m~..~g" perl -le "print map+chr -7+reverse,sort+(7*11*0xf7e9b)=~/../g" perl -le "print map+chr 59+oct reverse,reverse+sort+(5*7*94_61*3**3*2* +*3)=~/../g"

    Regards,
    -- Hauke D

      Thank you.

      Thanks for the comments, i can bang out bash one liners but perl is a different beast, especially ones with hellishily complicated maps.

    Why not just go to the Obfuscation page here on Perlmonks? There is plenty of insane code to try and crack there, although they are not necessarily one liners.

    Check it out: Obfuscated Code

      Thanks, I'll have a look but intentionally obfuscated code is an order of magnitude harder it seems, I only want to look at shortened, compact code. Obfuscation is like adding an encryption layer, I'm not ready for that yet but thanks.

    Just pick the most powerful module you know and invoke it as a one-liner. Just for one (not real great) example: Maypole::HTTPD:

    perl -MMaypole::HTTPD -e 'Maypole::HTTPD->new(module=>"BeerDB")->run() +'
    I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
