There's a
great article over on
Humorix.
An excerpt:
The Perl Gazette has announced the winners in the
First Annual Unobfuscated Perl Code Contest. First
place went to Edwin Fuller, who submitted this
unobfuscated program:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello world!\n";
"This was definitely a challenging contest," said
an ecstatic Edwin Fuller. "I've never written a
Perl program before that didn't have hundreds of
qw( $ @ % & * | ? / \ ! # ~ ) symbols. I really had
to summon all of my programming skills to produce an
unobfuscated program."
I especially liked the idea of a
use really_goddamn_strict pragma... :)
