This is my first JAPH ever. It's not very clever, but it served well in learning a few principles about code obfuscation in general. 
$V=sub{(@_)?return&$V(@_[1..$#_]),shift,eval{(++$::x==$::a*4+$::p*7+
$::h*4)?eval{eval{$::a?($::p?($::h?'':$::h++):$::p++):$::a++;};' ';}
:''}:();};$a=1;$_="42.redbig7ik6icy0adf3Hilfred1Preg1Zim8why5tonamb"

The next one has more effort. Actually, this one too is simple once you get the jist. 
# The answer is 42.
  $r=42+              22;for(0..$r
  *.4){(             $_<4*2)?push@c,
  split             //,unpack    ('b'.(
  split    //,'4'  x4 .'2'     x2 .'42')
  [$_ ],   int((4             ,2-4*.2
  ,4+2,2   -4*.2           ,4-4*.2
  ,2,4,4-4*.2)[$_         ])):'';
   for(split//,       (($c[$_])
         ?';':       ':')x(
         unpack     ('C',(split//,
