One of my favorite things about the IOCCC is that Larry Wall won it twice and then went on to design Perl, which explains a lot.

I'd love to see what obfuscated Perl looks like!
I'm still hoping to see unobfuscated Perl.
- Any module from CPAN

- Pixpang (or Pangzero, can't remember which one used Perl and SDL)

- Frozen Bubble?

I think you missed the joke. Or maybe I did.
(Insert “The Office” meme with Pam saying “they are the same picture”.)
That time we managed to sneak some (semi-)obfuscated Perl into the very serious Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 customer documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

"this simple Perl script"
That’s amazing!
