Ok not at all good but (in my eyes at least) funny.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

open(F,$0);$_=<F>;chomp;$_.=<F>;
s;^.*?\/(..).*?i(.).(.*?)\s.*?\ss(.)(.).(.).*;
J$1$4 a$2o$4he$5 $3 ha$6ke$5!;;
print;

See if you can guess what the c stands for in cjaph.

You open the script itself (location stored in $0) on filehandle F and assign the first two lines to $_.

Then you start a substitution operating on $_, with ; as a delimiter, so de-obfuscated (using a | as delimiter) it looks like:

$_=~s|^.*?\/(..).*?i(.).(.*?)\s.*?\ss(.)(.).(.).*|J$1$4 a$2o$4he$5 $3 
+ha$6ke$5!|;

You basically scan the first two lines for some stuff:
1. The two chars following the first slash go into $1 ('us')

   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   

2. Then you scan for the next 'i' and save the following char in $2 ('n')

   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   

3. You skip the next char and save everything up to the next space in $3 ('perl')

   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   

4. You skip to the next space followed by 's' and save the next char in $4 ('t')

   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   

5. The next char goes into $5 ('r')

   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   

6. Then skip one and save the last in $6 ('c')

   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   use strict;
   

and then print the new value of $_.

But I still don't know what the c in cjaph stands for ...

Ok. Just to stop everyone from guessing (because I know you've all been worrying about it for days now!) the "c" in cjaph, as is quite obvious from the nature of the japh, stands for "crap".
