Here's my first attempt, please don't laugh. 
@f=split(//,shift||"Just Another Perl Hacker"); sub p{print
@_};while(){for($i=0;$i<@f;$i++){$j=6000;while(#$j-- if($slow)
--$j){p("."=>chr(8));}p$f[$i];}p"\n";push@f,shift@f;}

    Yikes, I get the follow error message when I run it:

    Missing right bracket at file.pl line 3, at end of line
    Syntax error at file.pl line 3, at EOF
    Execution of file.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

    I dunno, maybe I did something wrong :)

      Adding an extra right bracket (}) allows the code to execute, but it doesn't output anything legible - just a long string of letters. Granted, all the letters are from the set that makes up "Just Another Perl Hacker" but they aren't in order.

    It worked fine when I tried it and it's very, very neat-- well worth the cutting & pasting. An excellent first attempt, ar0n-- gets my vote. Bravo!
    (ps: I really like that it outputs in a sort of matrix-- a nice change from the usual single line output. And the pacing as it runs is nice-- I really like that it takes a few moments for the whole effect to be evident.)
