noun Technical meaning of japh (programming) A Perl program which prints "Just another Perl hacker" using extremely obfuscated methods, typically ones based on obscure behaviours of sometimes rarely-used functions, in the spirit of the Obfuscated C Contest. The obfuscation can result from the code being total gibberish, e.g.: $_="krJhruaesrltre c a cnp,ohet";$_.=$1,print$2while s/(..)(.)//; or from having "Just another Perl hacker" embedded in opaque code: $_='987;s/^(\d+)/$1-1/e;$1?eval:print"Just another Perl hacker,"';eval or from looking like it does something simple and completely unrelated to printing "Just another Perl hacker": $_ = "wftedskaebjgdpjgidbsmnjgc"; tr/a-z/oh, turtleneck Phrase Jar!/; print; Examples. 1
noun japh (computing, programming) A program written in Perl that outputs the text Just another Perl hacker, usually programmed in an obfuscated manner so that the output is not obvious until it is run. 0
