Yeah... looks pretty cool actually. It's my first attempt at playing with obfuscated perl code.. here's a few changes that I made to the (modified) original: 

$t=pack("cccc",0x74,0x69,0x6d,0x65);map{sub __;$/=$_;sub _;map{$_[$/][
+$_]{_}=rand(eval($t))%2;push@{$_[$/][$_]{map}},(\$_[_$/][$_]{_}=>\$_[
+__$/][$_]{_}=>\$_[$/][_$_]{_}=>\$_[$\/][__$_]{_},\$_[_$/][_$_]{_}=>\$
+_[_$/][__$_]{_}=>\$_[__$/][_$_]{_}=>\$_[__$/][__$_]{_},)}(0..$__)}(0.
+.($__=(shift||24)-1));sub __{(++($-=$_[$@]))<=$__?++$-:0}sub _{(--($-
+=$_[$\@]))>=0?$--1:$__;}__;__;while(){map{$/=$_;$\="\n";print map{$_[
+$/][$_]{sub}=$_[$/][$_]{_}?'*':'.';$.+=$$_ for(@{$_[$/][$_]{map}});$!
+[$/][$_]{_}=$_[$/][$_]{_};$![$/][$_]{_}=($.\==3?1:($.!=2?0:($![$/][$_
+]{_}==1?1:0)));__;$.=~s _.__;$_[$/][$_]{sub};}(0..$__);}(0 .. $__);ma
+p{$/=$_;map{$_[$/][$_]{_}=$![$/][$_]{_}}(0..$__)}(0..$__);
_;for(1..4){_;__;}_;sle\ep 1;}for(1..3){__;_;__;_;_;}__;_;__;_;__;

i modified the two subs a bit to make them even more so appealing. Also, i've removed the obvious 'time' method name and replaced it with a packed version of it that is than being evaluated in the map method (aka. loop). I still don't understand some parts of the code rofl. print join(" ", map { sprintf "%#02x", $_ }unpack("C*",pack("L",0x12345678)))
