Ok, as you've probably seen, my previous attempts at obfuscation have been severely lacking - mainly due to my level of skill regarding Perl has also been found lacking. I have been reading Programming Perl, and I found the world of  pack(). I think this is a really cool function, and I have used it here to write a japh that actually looks fairly obfuscated. If you don't agree, remember the important thing here is that I learned a new function!


#!/usr/bin/perl

$j;$a;$p;$h;
$j=pack"cccc",106,117,115,116;
$a=pack"ccccccc",97,110,111,116,104,101,114;
$p=pack"cccc",112,101,114,108;
$h=pack"cccccc",104,97,99,107,101,114;
print "$j $a $p $h\n";
