I don't know if Abigail still remembers, but
way back in August 2001,
he suggested the following JAPH:
BEGIN{$^H=2097152}$_="(?\173\160\162\151\156\164'\112\165\163\164\040\
+141\156\157\164\150\145\162\040\120\145\162\154\040H\141\143\153\145\
+162\012'\175)";/$_/;
Soon after, Ron Kimball posted this
little beauty
:
''=~("(?{".('}_).} "*}_} }./}(}_ }}_, (}_+}_,*"'&
~'/- + *,+ < + :- /:- << :- @'|
' `` @ `` ` @ ` ` ` ')."})");
provoking me into building a more general way to generate
these kind of programs:
use Acme::EyeDrops qw(sightly);
print sightly( { SourceString => "Just another Perl hacker,",
Print => 1,
Regex => 1 } );

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).
