This is the little (well actually, much compacted, and obfuscated) script I wrote to generate the encoded data for the japh script you see above.
If you like tossing over obfuscaion in you head, don't start with this, it will probably give away the algorythm too easily. Instead I put it here in case people get stuck, though it is quite a nice example of obfuscation itself, so it might not really be of much help :)
$i='1 '.join(' ',unpack('C'x length($ARGV[0]),$ARGV[0]))
;for (1..length($ARGV[0])){{$_=$i,s\.+? \\,split,($l,$i)
='';$i.=' '.($t=$_-$l),$l=$_ for(@_)}$i=~s/^ //,$o.=$i,
$o=~s\ .*\+\;}$_=$o,$_='1+'.join('+',reverse(split(/\++/
,$_))),s/\+-/-/g;print
Note: This script needs an argument, so either save it to a file and 'perl foo.pl "just another perl hacker"' or add an extra line at the beginning "$ARGV[0]='just another perl hacker';".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
