Re: On JAPHs Redux

Thank you for pointing a node that I have never seen or heard mention of before today!

The table that follows is a direct quote from the good BooK's post:

JAPH Obfuscation

prints "Just Another Perl Hacker"
discovery of features
less used features used in unusual ways
TIMTOWTDI

does something useful/funnny/powerful
hard to understand/read programs
an artistic approach to the code
should confuse B::Deparse

So it seems to me that if a JAPH is not obfuscated that it should be posted in Cool Uses For Perl or the Snippets Section.

I've not played with enough Obfu to see what techniques will "confuse" B::Deparse. It would seem that the bytecodes are the bytecodes. The output may be mechanical, but where will B::Deparse not be able to produce Perl from bytecode? -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply]
