Re^2: JAPH with shifting (explained)

I like it - I think the shifting stuff is cool. Could it be adapted to become a uuencoder (sans obfu) or something else cool? Did a real world example inspire you to work on this?

I'm too new to Perl to be able to de-objuscate. I appreciate the explaination. (I'll write one up on my own soon).

I humbly seek wisdom.

I know very little about uuencoding and even less about pack/unpack, but I have a sneaking suspicion that `pack/unpack` would be the way to go with that. Could somebody give an example of this? The "inspiration" came from using a hex editor to debug UTF8 issues, and originally, I wanted to use the bytes from UTF8 characters in a sentence to hold the latin bytes for "just another Perl hacker,". But of course the first 255 characters in UTF8 and Latin-1 are the same, so I couldn't do it without resorting to a different script within UTF8, which would mean that it wouldn't work on many machines. So I settled for making it unreadable instead :) Clint	[reply] [d/l]
