While that's a great use of map if you're trying to win an obfu contest, that method is too aggressive at removing single quotes. He specified that he wanted to remove single quotes from the number, not from the word 'berg'.

It would work better like this: 

my @list_of_params = map { s/^'(\d+?)'$/$1/ }
                     map { $_ eq 'NULL' ? 'undef' : $_ }
                     split (/\s*,\s*/,$params);
