A few more ways to do it:
- Build functions that will create the text when given certain input. vis-a-vis this by jake.
- Fluff the text and weed out extraneous information a la this by gmax (which is the spoiler to this.)
- Use built-in or standard off-site strings to construct the string without actually showing which strings you're constructing from (two examples being here and here; caveat to those using eval to generate strings -- error messages are not necesarily ubiquitous).
- Format the text in an interesting way such as this obfu by Len.
- Just give the text (reasonably) straight-forward (like Dominus does here) because no-one can figure out what you're doing with it anyway :)
- trivially: you can bit-or, bit-and, or bit-xor the text to other text to hide what your original string is (ie this), just know that it's not a very good obfu technique by itself (there are much better examples of this one, i just don't have the time to search for one right now; it will hopefully be updated in the future...)
Just a few suggestions, hopefully they help more than hurt...

PS: please feel free to /msg me with what you think are better examples for any of the points above (i didn't spend too much time searching...)
Update: added a trivial case and moved around some text to make it more readable...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
