Well it ain't easy...

One thing you can try is to use Perl::Tidy on it, but that might not solve the problem, partly because the only thing that's able to parse Perl is perl itself (meaning that Perl::Tidy itself sometimes fail) and partly because even if it works, it doesn't do everything... but it might be a good start...

And then you'll have to break it down in chunks and try to understand the flow of the code... it surely helps if you already have an idea of what it does...

Regarding the code you're posting, it seems just like a variable name...

Anyway, how did it get to the point that you're left with obfuscated scripts? It seems somebody didn't do his(her) job properly... that's no way to work...
