( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

There has been a lot of talk about people of nefarious nature hiding information in otherwise normal looking images. After hearing about this prospect, I wondered if it was possible to make an image containing runnable perl code. For several days I had trouble getting around the image headers, as they all cause syntax errors. Eventually, Joost showed me the light of the -x switch.

As of now, my user image ktross's user image is a JAPH script, and a picture of a camel.

Steps to run:
  1. Download ktross's user image, also availible at my home node ktross
  2. Run perl with the -x switch : perl -x perlmonks.gif
  3. Enjoy :)

The code contained in the image is a re-run of System Independant Rand-JAPH, but I thought the concept was interesting.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
