Beautiful!

And because it's only one statement (one 'variable' plus a wicked /x'd regex) perl -MO=Deparse doesn't even begin to shed any light on this!

$ perl -MO=Deparse valentine.pl
"Sh         ELoV\n   eSMeshEl     OvEsmeNO\n  tsHeloVeSM   EShELOVESm\
+n eNOTShEloVes mESheLovesMe\nnoTsHELovEsMESHelOVeSmEnotS\nHeLOVeSMESH
+ElOvESMENotSHeLo\n VesmEShELovEsmENOTsHELOVE\n  smEsHELOveSMeNoTshELO
+Ve\n   SmesHElOVesmEnOTSheLO\n    vEsMeshELoVESmEnoTS\n     HELOvEsM"
+ =~ /(((\w
      )\W*(?{$^R.(0+(
       q{a}lt$3))}))
        {8}(?{print
         +pack"B8"
          ,$^Rand
           ""}))
            +/x;
valentine.pl syntax OK
