Re: Found in translation: JAPH

Well, (i) it's less than 80 chars, (ii) it's indeed obfuscated, (iii) it does print that string, although I think it's preferrable if possible to print \n as well, (iv) it's obviously strict safe.

Said this, IMO it's rather too naive and "transparent". However I suspect you can't do much better in such a small space.

Personally I'd use all lowecase letters and use some trick to turn it into the wanted string, a la:

s/\w+/$|--?$&:ucfirst$&/ge;
# or
s/\w+/$&^($|--?'':"\x20")/ge;

Not obfu enough,eh? I played a bit and came up with this: `s..s::KVTU!BOPUIFS!QFSM!IBDLFS,:;y\|KQ!B-JL-PR-Z\|JP a-ik-oq-z\|;s\|\|print +\|e.e` [download] How's that? radiantmatrix `require General::Disclaimer; s//2fde04abe76c036c9074586c1/; while(m/(.)/g){print substr(' ,JPacehklnorstu',hex($1),1)}`	[reply] [d/l]

`s..s::KVTU!BOPUIFS!QFSM!IBDLFS,:;y\|KQ!B-JL-PR-Z\|JP a-ik-oq-z\|;s\|\|print +\|e.e` [download] chip shot: `s..s::KVTU!BOPUIFS!QFSM!IBDLFS,:;y\|KQ!B-Z\|JP a-z\|;s\|\|print\|e.e` [download] ++obfu(ASCII-only): `s..s::KVTU!BOPUIFS!QFSM!IBDLFS,:;y\|KQ!>-[\|JP ]-{\|;s\|\|print\|e.e` [download] but this still leaves the problem of the off-by-one Caesar cipher embedded in the code. See if you can't come up with something less obvious.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I hadn't even thought of it as a cipher until you mentioned it. Excellent point. I combined these ideas with the (bad) JAPH in my sig; let me know how this is: `s,,2fde04abe76c036c9074586c1x,,y,26840adc7bf3x19e5,Jeka nsrhouP\n\,ltc +,,print` [download] radiantmatrix `require General::Disclaimer; s//2fde04abe76c036c9074586c1/; while(m/(.)/g){print substr(' ,JPacehklnorstu',hex($1),1)}`	[reply] [d/l]
