I realized that I was doing way too much in the open, so playing around with the encoding mechanism I had gave me the following code (presented here, for your enjoyment).

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Term::ANSIScreen;
$| = 1;

my %config = ( delay => 0.1, width => 75, looptimes => 10 );
my (@characterline);

foreach my $i ( 0 .. 8 ) { push @characterline, ' ' x 226; }

while ( my $line = <DATA> ) {
    while ( $line =~ m/(.)(.)(.{2})/g ) {
        substr( $characterline[ hex($2) ], hex($3), 1, $1 );
    }
}

my $console = Term::ANSIScreen->new;
{
    $console->Cls();
    foreach my $i ( 0 .. ( $config{looptimes} - 1 ) ) {
        foreach my $x ( 0 .. length( $characterline[0] ) ) {
            $console->Cursor( 1, 1 );
            foreach my $y ( 0 .. $#characterline ) {
                print substr( $characterline[$y] x 2, $x,
                    $config{width} ), "\n";
            }
            select undef, undef, undef, $config{delay};
        }
    }
}

Update 2007-01-27: Removed one configuration and one left-over variable. Placed remaining three into a single hash, and updated code to use hash. Updated loop to prepare @characterline array. Updated loop to use the number of items in @characterline.

Update 2007-01-27: Changed routine loading from DATA to use a regex rather than multiple substr() calls.
