Line 1:

'''Just another Perl hacker''' refers to a [[Perl]] program which prints "Just another Perl hacker," (the comma being [[canonical]] but occasionally omitted) using extremely [[obfuscated code|obfuscated]] methods, typically ones based on obscure behaviours of sometimes rarely-used functions, in the spirit of the [[The International Obfuscated C Code Contest|Obfuscated C Contest]].

==Examples==

The obfuscation can result from the code being total gibberish, e.g.:

Line 50 ⟶ 51:

Often Parrot JAPHs are only lightly obfuscated; they're usually intended to demonstrate or test a feature in a non-trivial use.
