Let's go to the movies

Hello monks,
Here's my latest effort, it's pure perl, so should run anywhere.

It is parametised so it will take the number of boxes in the output as an argument in the form:
 # perl blah.pl 19x20
(19x20 is the default)

This will produce a variable sized file (default is normally around 6Mb) called al.XXX (where XXX would reveal the surprise) in the directory from which it is run

$_=q^($w,$h +)=s plit/x/,shift||"19x20";$q=10+10*$w;$r=20+10*$h;@m=((31,(1 +5)x ($w-1))x$h,(31)x$w);$m[$c]|=16,!(@a=grep!($m[$c+$$_[0]]&16+$|*$$_[1]) +,[- 1,8],[1,1],[$w,4],[-$w,2])?$c=pop@p:${($i,$j)=@{$a[rand@a ]};$m[$c]&=~ (8/$j);push@p,$c;$m[$c+=$i]&=~$j;++$u-$h*$w+$h||map$_&=15,@m,splice(@ +p), $c=$|=1}until$|&$c+2>$w*$h;$C=$q-4*int$q/4;$A=($q+$C)*$r;$u=pack"x"x( +($q +$C)*$r);subZd{my($f,$g,$h,$i,$e)=@_;@a=sort{"000$a"<=>"000$b"}$h,$i| +|$h ;for($a[0]..$a[1]){$s=($r-$_)*($q+$C)+$f;vec($u,$_,8)=$e||2 for$s..$s ++$g -1}};subZt{$a=shift;$x=10*($a%$w);$y=10*(2+int$a/$w)};dZ9,$q-20,10;dZ +9,$ q-20,$r-10;dZ9,1,10,$r-10;dZ$q-11,1,10,$r-10;map{t$_;if($_%$w){$m[$_] +&2? d$x-1,11,$y:"";$m[$_]&8?d$x+9,1,$y-10,$y:"";}}0..-1+$w*$h;$F="LIST";o +pen (FH,">al.avi");binmodeZFH;selectZFH;printZpack"V*",/\d/?$_:unpack"V*" +,$_ Zfor"RIFF",(1256+($A+24)*($B=3+scalar@p)),"AVIZ$F",1216,"hdrlavih",56 +,50 0000,32,0,2064,$B,0,1,$A,$q,$r,(0)x4,$F,1140,"strlstrh",56,"vids",(0) +x4, 1,10,0,$B,$A,-1,(0)x3,"strf",1064,40,$q,$r,pack("vv",1,8),0,$A,(0)x4, +pac k(("C"x1024),(0xff)x3,0,128),$F,(4+($A+8)*$B),"movi";map{printZSTDOUT +"." ;t$z||1;$l=$x;$t=$y;t$_;$ri=$x;if($l>$x){$ri=$l;$l=$x}d$l+2,5+$ri-$l, +($t <$y?$t:$y)-7,($t<$y?$y:$t)-3,1;$z=$_;print"00db".pack("V",$A).$u}@p,( +-1+ $w*$h)x3;print"idx1".pack"V",16*$B;$o=4;for(1..$B){print"00db".pack"V +VV" ,16,$o,$A;$o+=$A+8}^;s#((?{$a.=$+})\s?(\S*)\s?)*#$a=~s/Z/ /g;$a#see
(that's supposed to be a clapboard btw!)

If there is enough interest i'll write a deobfuscation/explanation of what went into it,
I've written a clean version here.

In the meantime some of my references and some other notes are in the spoiler below:

I hope you all enjoy it.

update: Add link to explanation.
Also use V not L (see this) to force correct endianness - this should now work on mac's
and fixed a bug where it didn't work for 5.8.8

    An exremely clever idea! ++

    Let me take a crack at deobfuscation ...


    s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

    teamster_jr,

    This is the best obfu I have seen in quite a while. Great work!

    Thanks

    This rocks. Can you *please* walk through how it works?

    Runs out of memory on Perl v5.8.6 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int, before printing anything to the console. No problems in debian stable though.
    Awesome obfu!

    Can anybody tell me how much is the datasize requirement? As soon as the perl process's datasize exceeds the set datasize limit, the process dies (as expected). I had tried w/ limit set to 512 MB (a few mega bytes larger than user-available amount of 491 MB RAM). (Perl is 5.8.7, built w/ debugging & i386-freebsd-64int, running on FreeBSD/i386 6-STABLE.)
