This 4x48 snippet prints JAPH on all Perl version I tested it on.
sub'DESTROY{print${sub'_(_){bless\pop}pop}->[0]}
_[J,_[q q q,_[o^O,_[q[,]],_[k,_[r],_[e]],_[h,_[c
],_[a]]],_[P,_[n&_],_[r],_[e],],],_[u,_[a,_[h,_[
r],_[e],],_[n,_[t],_[o],],],_[q[s],_[$"],_[t]]]]
It still uses the “chopping a tree” concept, but the tree is hard-coded, rather than being built dynamically based on a string.
Here it is with indentation to evidence the tree’s structure:
_[J,
_[q[ ],
_[q[ ],
_[q[,]],
_[k,
_[r],
_[e]
],
_[h,
_[c],
_[a]
]
],
_[P,
_[l],
_[r],
_[e],
],
],
_[u,
_[a,
_[h,
_[r],
_[e],
],
_[n,
_[t],
_[o],
],
],
_[q[s],
_[q[ ]],
_[t]
]
]
];
