This is a nice piece of obfuscation.

One way I would go about 'improving' it (err.. obfuscating it further) is remove the warnings (-w) option and 'strict' pragma. This will allow you to do a number of illegal moves and get away with it relatively clean. One thing I'll do is remove all occurances of the 'my ' declarations, they will no longer be needed. You could also look at replacing lengthy and rather descriptive variable names with something less readable.

Update: I'm not sure if this change would be most applicable if you were to write a japh, but you could also replace this:

$magritte = pack q\C4\, split /,/, qq;  80, 101, 114, 108; ;
[download]

with just:

$magritte = "\u$^X";
[download]

Initially, the former line looked to me quite obvious. However, as I look at it now.. the updated line doesn't seam as puzzling either. ;/ Oh, well, as I said, it might be good for a japh.
