I always wanted to write my own Huffman decoder. So, today I did. I don't claim to be fastest or smartest (quite the opposite I guess), but it's mine.
I didn't make any encoder, it's all done with pen and paper.
And now the obligatory: This is my first JAPH, comments are welcome.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use integer;
@t=("12","34","56","7 ","89",":h","er",";k","<t","=a","lc","ju","sn","
+op");
@m=split/ */,"\x00\x50\xA5\xd2\xc5\xbb\x96\xef\x06\xbc\x8e\xe0";
$i=0;$n=0;$p=0;$x=0;
do {
$n=(($i%8)==0)?ord(shift @m):$n;
$x=ord(substr($t[$p],(($n&128)>>7),1));
$p=(($x&240)==48)?($x&15):0;
if ($p==0){print chr($x)};
$i++;$n<<=1;
} until ($i==91) ;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
