Being somewhat unsatisfied with my last obfu, I thought I'd try to take it to the next level. Thanks to an interesting observation by fizbin, I got my last bit of inspiration.
#!/usr/bin/perl
$ *= $ ,= 42; sub'_ {$ .[$ %++ ]=$ *+=$ _[$ |] ;\& _}_( 22)->(- 20,_(
+24),_(- 28
) )->( 12,_(- 12))->( -3,_(- 17),_(- 20));$ *=$ .=$ %=$ |;$ % ++?$ %%$
+ ^F ? ($ *
[$ *++] =$ _)&& ($ *[$ *++ ]=$ "):($ ,[$ .++ ]=$ _) && ($ ,[$ .++] =$
+") : ( $ *
[$ *++] =$ _)&& ($ *[$ *++ ]=$ ")&&($ ,[$ .++]=$ ")for( split// ,join'
+' ,map { s
<(-*\d+)(?{ pack 'c' ,$ ,+=$ _})><$^R> &&$ _}@ .);$ *[++$ *] =$ /;$ %=
+$ |; map {
print $ _^ ${ $ * }[ $ %++ ]}$ * > $ .?($ * = \ @ , )&& @ * :($ * = \
+@ *) && @,
I guess I'm still not 100% satisfied with it yet, so apologies in advance if you see more versions of this...
