I'm getting lost in all the map transforms

But, there are only a mere eight of them...

There's some stuff that is unused... disinformation?

I included that stuff for three reasons. (SPOILERS:

First, because I needed something to fill out my shape. Second, yes, I felt the need to throw in some herring. Third, I had just discovered it was possible to have a sub named :: and could not bear to exclude this marvelous discovery. Expect to see some of my future obfuscations make more substantial use of this name.

)

this bit of code is a fun transformation

Yes, I initially wanted to golf that down a little more and/or obfuscate it a little better, and possibly apply it to more of the text, but I ran out of steam.

It puts an exclamation point and newline on the output record seperator, which I think puts it at the end of the output whenever this program is run.

Whenever it prints out a string, actually. The only reason it only happens once per run is because it only prints one string per run. When I was developing the thing, I had a loop that for testing purposes called all of the closures, and so !\n was printed after each.

That's the first time I've ever de-obfuscated a program.

Addictive, isn't it? The first time I deobfuscated something from Perlmonks, I went nuts afterward and compulsively deobfuscated the next several obfus in a row. It was a couple of days before I wanted to look at "normal" code again.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
