JAPH is a short piece of Perl code that produces th Output:
Just Another Perl Hacker
Not more than four lines of code. And no more than 80 characters in each line.

The original JAPH (me) created original JAPHs that were one line of code (mostly) to produce Just another Perl hacker, with precisely those 25 characters of output. Any other definition would be merely a quasi-JAPH. Beware the false japh!

In one of my talks I classify japhs as having the following characteristics:
- Short programs, preferably at most four lines, no line exceeding 80 characters (so they can be used as Usenet signatures)
- Print Just another Perl hacker, or some variation of that regarding punctuation or capitalization.
- Have obscure or surprising syntax.

Surprise comes from an interaction between the event and the expectations of the observer.
That JAPH is reserved for showing Java Programmers, whose response tends to be, Where's the rest of it? ;-)

An abbreviation for "Just Another Perl Hacker" ;-)
Another meaning: a small chunk of obfuscated perl-code writing "japh" or "Just Another Perl Hacker", preferably in one or two lines.
I guess, a simple search will enlighten you some more, enjoy!
