Some comments on the latter half of translations:
$data =~ s/ss^\b/ran("55","\$\$","\$\$")/gie;
That ^ makes no sense.
$data =~ s/e/3/gi; $data =~ s/t/7/gi; $data =~ s/(l|i)/1/gi; $data =~ s/a/4/gi; $data =~ s/b/8/gi; $data =~ s/g/9/gi; $data =~ s/o/0/gi;
Ewww. This would be so much better as a tr///.
$data =~ tr/eEtTlLiIaAbBgGoO/3377111144889900/;

    He's trying to make "$$" a more probable outcome than "55"... if you have a bag with one red hat and two black hats, and you pick one at random, chances are better for picking a black hat than a red one...
    I kinda like the way he did that... it's strangely creative :)
