<p>Just as a reminder -- this section is <i>not</i> about hiding code so others can't see it.</p>
<p>This section is about posting code that makes use of clever mechanisms and <i>"whose function is not immediately apparent to anyone"</i> ([id://237057]). You might have noticed that one of the goals people have when code is posted here is to immediately de-obfuscate it and analyze the way it works <i>:)</i>. You might ask yourself why someone might want to do this...</p>
<ul>
<li>It can be artful, and therefore appreciated as art.</li>
<li>It can teach about in-depth perl principles.</li>
<li>It is an intellectual exercise.</li>
<li>It helps you to show off how smart you are <i>;-)</i>.</li>
<li>Analyzing such code helps you to improve your code-reading skills.</li>
</ul>
<p>Code posted in this section definitely is not the thing you'd want to use in a commercial application, for various reasons.</p>
