(z) Re^2: New Obfuscation Trick!

It does work for me, in both forms:

perl -le '
J}s rule'
JAPHs rule

perl -le '
$J=q$JAPH$;print"${J}s rule";
'
JAPHs rule

But I don't understand the first version. Why does it work? perl 5.8.0 on linux, btw.

Something to do with the lexer I believe, or so I've read. HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply]

Seems related to unicode handling. The relevant entry would be `${^ENCODING}` in perlvar. This entry also says: see encoding for details but their is no other occurence of that word in perlvar. Probably it means "see encoding in perluniintro". Gotta read that doc. -- stefp -- check out Nemo	[reply]
