  Just another Perl hacker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 methods, typically ones based on obscure behaviours of sometimes rarely-used functions, in the spirit of the Obfuscated C Contest.
This phrase was popularized by Randal L. Schwartz, who created most of the first such programs in the signatures of his postings to the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.perl (the predecessor to the modern comp.lang.perl.misc).
Often Parrot JAPHs are only lightly obfuscated; they're usually intended to demonstrate or test a feature in a non-trivial use.

 Encyclopedia: Perl
Perl is widely used in finance and bioinformatics, where it is valued for rapid application development, ability to handle large data sets, and the availability of many standard and 3rd-party modules.
Perl is implemented as a core interpreter, written in C, together with a large collection of modules, written in Perl and C. The source distribution is, as of 2005, 12 MB when packaged in a tar file and compressed.
The "canonical" JAPH includes the comma at the end, although this is often omitted, and many variants on the theme have been created (example: [4], which prints "Just Another Perl Pirate!").

 Just Another Perl Hacker | Andrew.Sterling.Hanenkamp.com
The term "hacker" has received a lot of press and has been generally defined by the culture, but I think the term finds it's most appropriate meaning in it's original denotation: a dude that literally hacks away at something until he gets what he's looking for or just broken pieces.
Each has their own strengths, but all of them were written by hacker types with more or less lenience towards the math and SE mentalities.
Perl 6 should freshen the slate, especially since the development is very heavily design driven.
