how's this? it works using the routines as yours, just written differently - and it should still work under strict and warnings..
$_="JussJsstssPerlJssjsssssPsjusjsssuerpjsjsssusjpersjulJllsjJsjsssu";
+my
($a,$p);print do{s^.^$_="jsreutPJpl";s/$&/$p=pos/e;$p^eg;for$p(split//
+,"
23332233333322333232233"){$a+=$p;s#.{$a}#$&.#;$a++}eval}.$/

there's a spoiler here:
I've dropped $J and $h - and rolled it all into a single routine:
$_="jsreutPJpl";s/$&/$p=pos/e;
and @j and a foreach loop is replaced with a regex.
The part that adds the . is moved out of the loop and moved to a regex.
