++feanor_269, this is pretty good for a first attempt!

Suggestions for future obfuscations in no particular order:

• Use built-in variables:
  • wherever possible
  • in unexpected ways
  • even if they are not needed
• Shape the code to look like something even if it's only a rectangle because:
  • it makes you break your lines in unexpected places
  • it looks better
  • you might discover that you are an ASCII artist
• Whitespace:
  • add it where it doesn't belong
  • remove it from where it does belong
• Use commas in place of semicolons where allowed
• Use the arrow operator in place of commas
• Use short circuits
• Study the work of the masters:
  • Erudil
  • grinder
  • japhy
  • many more masters are waiting to be discovered in Obfuscated code
• Read Writing highly obfuscated code in Perl and it's replies
• Practice, practice, practice
• Have fun!
