UNobfuscated Perl Code Contest
The Perl Gazette has announced the winners in the First Annual Unobfuscated
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."
...The second place winner, Mrs. Sea Pearl, submitted the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
# Do nothing, successfully
exit(0);
