Okay, I am mystified (and if need be, humbled). I have seen this sort of genuinely obfuscated thing before (in someone's .sig file perhaps?) and even confirmed that it worked.

What I am wondering though, is how the heck do you come up with code like, 

$_=q~;ir$w}Uw&Ii,jmcumUumbo#e_cjm>oImb}U|nyp@''@#l"ynrjmUtthU]h!U[$rhb
+]h!U[11mU=mboI|_|mU#|wU"mcuL)'(*=L#/l"ynrjmU)mboI|wU"mUuhb]mU[#|wU"mc
+uL)(*=)*<=hU]-s[)'*<=L#//f_y${sumc#/#tir$w~;y~L)oep<;@y>m}/Ushw![i=nb
+$1*l#_&|{"]u('f,tjIcr~"<)ftI*'i_@=}s1$u#]m>lcn|Lw;obp!h[,U/jy&({re~;s
+,.*,$&,ee;$_

I mean, I can't even recognize many operators in that mess, let alone interpret jmcumUumbo#e_cjm into anything meaningful. Also, I could not get this to work.

Clues for the clueless? Or perhaps I am missing some larger joke.
