Probably not my best obfuscation, but I'm proud of some parts of it. Takes a fraction as an argument and returns the egyptian fraction for that number.
For example:
clark:~/Desktop jim$ ./egypt.pl 19/20
19/20 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/180
clark:~/Desktop jim$ ./egypt.pl 18/20
18/20 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/15
sub egypt {my$f=2;do{return(--$f,egypt($_[0]/$f))unless$_[0]%$f++}
while$_[0]>1}print"$ARGV[0] = ",join(' + ',pharaoh(hiero(split '/',
$ARGV[0]))),"\n";sub hiero{my(%nf,%df);$nf{$_}++for egypt(shift);++
$df{$_}for egypt(shift);do{($df{$_},$nf{$_})=($df{$_}-$nf{$_},$nf{$_}
-$df{$_})if$df{$_}}for keys%nf;return(eval join('*',1,(map{($_)x
$nf{$_}}keys%nf)),eval join('*',1,(map{($_)x$df{$_}}keys%df)))}sub
pharaoh {return$_[0]==1?"$_[0]/$_[1]":("1/".(int($_[1]/$_[0])+1),
pharaoh(hiero($_[0]*(int($_[1]/$_[0])+1)-$_[1],$_[1]*(int($_[1]/
$_[0])+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).
