There is a large number of J.A.P.H. programs floating around,
but I am curious to know if they have ever been golf'd. Of
course, most are elegant from a point of fantastic obfuscation,
but not usually in terms of economy of characters. This, it
seems, limits artistic expression.
Without the devious short-cut of calling the program "Just Another Perl Hacker" and then using: print$0 As in, the name of the script is arbitrary, and as such, the code should be able to operate in a cut-and-paste capacity, just like most obfuscations.
The question is, is there anything more economical than: print"Just Another Perl Hacker" Or, rather: die"Just Another Perl Hacker\n" As far as I can tell, there is very little wiggle room.
