Let's call it an 'accidental' quine. My main purpose was simply to display Buffy's face. :) I am not a quine expert, but I suspect most people would view reading your own source as cheating and not in the spirit of the game. I suppose it does qualify as a quine, however, and I wonder if: open$%;print<0> is indeed the shortest possible Perl quine. Here is some quine code (extracted from Dr Damain's selfgol, I think): @s=(q[printf pop@s,@s],q[@s=(q[%s],q[%s])x2;%s])x2;printf pop@s,@s Japhy has written a CPAN quine module, Quine-1.01. /-\ndrew
