JAPH programs are classically done using extremely [[obfuscated code|obfuscated]] methods, in the spirit of the [[International Obfuscated C Code Contest|Obfuscated C Contest]]. More recently, as the phenomenon has become so well known, the phrase is sometimes used in ordinary examples (without obfuscation).
The idea of using tiny Perl programs which print a signature ''as a signature'' was originated by [[Randal L. Schwartz]], in his postings to the [[newsgroup]] comp.lang.perl.<ref>Randal L. Schwartz in [[Usenet]] message M1HFPVH2JQ.FSF@HALFDOME.HOLDIT.COM explaining the origin of JAPH. Available through [http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/msg/ecc405feeefc120c Google.com]</ref>
