There is a large number of J.A.P.H. programs floating around,
but I am curious to know if they have ever been golf'd. Of
course, most are elegant from a point of fantastic obfuscation,
but not usually in terms of economy of characters. This, it
seems, limits artistic expression.
Without the devious short-cut of calling the program "Just Another Perl Hacker" and
then using:
print$0
As in, the name of the script is arbitrary, and as such,
the code should be able to operate in a cut-and-paste
capacity, just like most obfuscations.
The question is, is there anything more economical than:
print"Just Another Perl Hacker"
Or, rather:
die"Just Another Perl Hacker\n"
As far as I can tell, there is very little wiggle room.

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).
