Sorry, but I find it to be only very very slightly obfuscated (if at all) and not in a particularly witty way. Lots of unnecessary parentheses (and not to a obfu-confusing effect!)

Also, you may be interested in $", $\, $/.

Also, what do you think reverse split(' ',$_) does? I agree that adding "unnecessary operations" is a potentially good obfuscating technique, but I see no point in using it here and this way.

Update: Not that I'm particularly concerned by the fact that this got downvoted in itself, but I'm really curious as to know why! Is there anything wrong in my analysis (I was just expressing a personal judgement of course)? Is there anything particularly smart in his code that I missed altogether?
