Using Jeff Pinyan's recently posted trick, it
is fairly easy to do a JAPH with no letters:
0=~"(?\173\160\162\151\156\164\040\042\112\165\163\164\040\141\156\157\164\1
50\145\162\040\120\145\162\154\040\150\141\143\153\145\162\012\042\175)"
I noticed this one from Abigail on CPAN:
$@="\145\143\150\157\040\042\112\165\163\164\040\141\156\157\164".
"\150\145\162\040\120\145\162\154\040\110\141\143\153\145\162".
"\042\040\076\040\057\144\145\166\057\164\164\171";`$@`
which writes to /dev/tty.
Are there other ways to do it with no letters?
What about no numbers too?
I have just started studying the more general-purpose
Acme::Smirch module, which can do it.
Does anyone have a list of JAPHs with no
letters and/or no numbers?
With regard to JAPH standards:
1) Should a JAPH write to stdout, stderr, /dev/tty
or any of these?
2) What about rules for capitalization of the
words and existence of trailing comma/newline?
Maybe there should be an ANSI JAPH standard.
