Though the code itself does not appear to be blatantly obfuscated, a quick gander at it will not let you easily know the output, because you are reading it like Perl Poetry, not obfuperl.
Blargh. My fault. I'm sure I tried executing it, but only got compilation errors. I must have done something wrong that time, because now that I've tried it again, I see your point.
Damn good obfuscation. Mayhap there oughtta be a sub-genre of obfuscation: steganobfuscation. :-)
