nice. a quick breakdown: 
#
# put some characters in $_
#

$_='a02756b636168620c62756072027568647f6e61620473757a6';

#
# split an array ref into @_ : A R R A Y ( 0 x 8 a 6 f 0 1 c )
#

split//,[q(just another perl hacker)];

#
# set $} to this literal string
#

$}='chr((ord$_)+65)';

#
# set $. to '0x' (taken from @_)
#

$.=join'',$_[6],$_[7];

#
# load @| with $. ('0x') followed by the first $_ then the literal
# numbers
#
# @| contains 0xa0275..,0x72,0x65,0x76,0x65,0x72,0x73,0x65
#

@|=map{$..$_}(split,72,65,76,65,72,73,65);

#
# get rid of the first value (the long one) from @|
#

shift@|;

#
# assign $t the string or chars made from the ASCII values in @|
#
# $t now equals 'reverse'
#

$t=join'',map{eval'chr hex'}@|;

#
# split $_ on '02', reverse the whole thing and re-join with '20'
#
# $_ now equals '6a75737420616e6f74686572207065726c206861636b65720a'
#

$_=(join'20',(split/02/,eval $t))[0];

#
# an extra semi colon?
#

;

#
# assign the literal string to $$
#

$$='print map{eval $}}@]';

#
# loop through $_ finding pairs of characters. append $. ('0x')
# before these then eval and chr them, before pushing onto @]
#

map{push@]=>chr(eval($..$&)-65)while s/..//}$_;

#
# evaluate $$ which adds 65 to each char in @]
#

eval$$;

#
# print output
#

print;
