|Unobfuscated Perl Code Contest
|September 16, 19100
|
|The Perl Gazette has announced the winners in the First
|Annual _Un_obfuscated Perl Code Contest.  First place went
|to Edwin Fuller, who submitted this unobfuscated program:
|
|#!/usr/bin/perl
|print "Hello world!\n";
|
|"This was definitely a challenging contest," said an
|ecstatic Edwin Fuller. "I've never written a Perl program
|before that didn't have hundreds of qw( $ @ % & * | ? / \ !
|# ~ ) symbols.  I really had to summon all of my
|programming skills to produce an unobfuscated program."

This is because they've all been doing VB -- Visual Basic for those who don't
know that program.  After you have hazard through the whole UWI GUI  issue then
you have to deal with the TWIPS! MS TWIPS method scares the Pixels right out of
me. If this is any indication of who they do math else where.... :-) The
simplest of programs, esp. graphics turn into udder nightmares. No Alice in
Wonderland hear! More like the Alice's Adventures in the Underworld-- the
original version of TWIPPING! :-) Crack that TWIP! TwipsPerPixelX it! 1/20 of a
printer point? :-)  What luniTic came up with this? In the World of Twiips there
are how many points of light? :-) In binary math it's really hard to divide a
point. In fact, a fraction of a person is a dead meat! Where are the meat eaters
anyway?
