I will be the first to admit that the vast majority of (at least my) JAPHs are not truly obfuscated -- just more or less clever hacks.

I've learned about hashes of arrays, hex, octal, binary, substr, sprintf, __DATA__, etc. vis a vis perl using JAPHs -- I suspect that quite a few aspirants of perl knowledge do the same.

Since there's no special place to put JAPHs, they generally show up in Obfuscation. The line blurs, but a JAPH is a JAPH and an obfu is an obfu.

While BooK's post is much more eloquent, and the topic has lain dormant for the past two years, again I humbly beseech the powers that be for the establishment of a JAPH section.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
