This is a game, is very funny, There is more than one way to do it, so we can make infinites 'JAPH'. Go on! Make your Just another Perl hacker and be the most original); $_='JAPH'; print $_; die "See you soon baby... $_"; die "Not dead $_?"=> $_= eval(23/0); #Divide by cero @data=<DATA>; chomp @data; @data=map{eval}@data; @data=grep{/JAPH/ or /Just another Perl hacker/}@data; print join "\n",@data; __END__ $_='Just another Perl Hacker'; $_=$|=$); s, .*,,s,print;
