The flow is easy to read, the idea behind it is rather obvious (although i'm not saying it's not interesting, I think it is neat), and there are too many redundancies. I don't mean to seem like a jacka$$ or anything, but this does not seem like obfuscation -- in my honest opinion.

Well, to really make my point, I've spent some time myself rewriting exactly your idea with my own concepts of obfuscation, meaning this is a bit closer to what I believe obfuscation is about:

print join ' ', (
map{$,=~s &$\&&& while s;[$,,];;;[$,=$_]->[/i/]}@{[qw]
ice justice tan,south,jer, nor,the,pearl, her,packer
]]})
[1..4];
