Here's a small trick to deobfuscate code directly from vim, using B::Deparse. All you have to do is to put this in your vimrc: 
    " Deparse obfuscated code
    nnoremap <silent> _d :.!perl -MO=Deparse 2>/dev/null<cr>
    vnoremap <silent> _d :!perl -MO=Deparse 2>/dev/null<cr>

Now, whenever you want to deparse a portion of the code, just press _d. For example, this line: 
    --$|&&s|\n|-|;

[download]
Magically becomes: 
    s/\n/-/ if --$|;

[download]
I find this particularly useful when I have to work with code that abuses Perl's TIMTOWTDIness: 
    $foo and $bar or $baz = 1;

[download]
(Now imagine a three-lines long statement where the attribution comes at the end.) Using B::Deparse, the code becomes more legible: 
    $baz = 1 unless $foo and $bar;

[download]
Unfortunatelly, B::Deparse has it own limitations; but I think this technique can be really useful in some situations.
