I'm a new monk. Still learning the ways. Here's my first ever stab at a japh. 
#!/usr/bin/env perl
# John's first japh!
use MIME::Base64;use Compress::Zlib;$s='blue23';$p='japh';@k=split 
'',crypt($p,$s);%h=('1'=>'CEgt','Y'=>'CNk=','0'=>'UUjM','Q'=>'Ti0C
','w'=>'SEzO','l'=>'Ki0u','2'=>'SC1S','3'=>'yy/J','U'=>undef,'7'=>
undef,'x'=>'ylHw','N'=>'AG8p','b'=>'eJzz');$japh;foreach (@k){next 
unless $h{$_};$japh.=$h{$_};};print uncompress(decode_base64($japh
))."\n";

Wasn't sure if external modules were allowed or what the rules were on strict mode. Still easier to read than my coworkers code!
