Having been with the Monastery for a couple months now, I felt compelled to try to toy with a few simple obfuscated scripts. I started from a simple code to study output of the 'top' command. I then continued to work on the code until it degraded to a state where it no longer looked as sane as it used to. Hence the obfuscation below:
$d=sub{print@_};@l=split/\$/,'username$size$res$count';$_ =`ps -e | wc -l`;s/[^\d]//g;@t=split/\n/,`top -b $_`; $z=sub{length$_[0]};splice(@t,0,6);my%p;@n=map({lc}grep($z->($_ ),split/[\s\t]+/,shift@t));my@v;for(@t){@v=grep(&$z($_ ),split/[\s\t]+/);@s{@n}=@v;for(@l[1,2]){$s{$_ }=~s/[^\d]//g;$p{$s{$l[0]}}{$_ }+=$s{$_ };}$p{$s{$l[0]}}{$l[3]}++;}&$d("\U$l[0]\t\U$l[1]\t\t\U$l[2]\n");for(ke +ys%p){$c="\t";$c.="\t"if(&$z($_ )<8);&$d($_.$c.$p{$_}{$l[1]}."K\t\t".$p{$_}{$l[2]}."K\n");}
