Line 2:
JAPH programs are classically done using extremely [[obfuscated code|obfuscated]] methods, in the spirit of the [[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).
Even more recently the P of '''JAPH'' can also stands for [[Perl 6]], [[parrot virtual machine|Parrot]] or [[Pugs]].
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 origine of JAPH.
