=== Recreational === Writing and reading obfuscated source code can be a [[brain teaser]]. A number of programming contests reward the most creatively obfuscated code, such as the [[International Obfuscated C Code Contest]] and the [[Obfuscated Perl Contest]]. Short obfuscated [[Perl]] programs may be used in [[Signature block|signatures]] of Perl programmers. These are JAPHs ("[[Just another Perl hacker]]").<ref>{{cite web |url=http://rochester.pm.org/talks/japh_discussion.txt |title=JAPH β Just Another Perl Hacker |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |website=pm.org |publisher=Perl Mongers |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516074850/http://rochester.pm.org/talks/japh_discussion.txt |archive-date=16 May 2013 |access-date=27 February 2015 }}</ref>
