I'm not _much_ of a Perl hacker, but that one liner definitely won't
work. It would be awfully cool if somebody comes up with something
like this:
http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=45213
Except with a huge smiley face instead of a camel.
If you're looking for "scripts which look a bit like a smiley but have
horrible consequences", you can't do worse than plain old bash:
:(){ :|:& };:
Please do NOT enter that into a terminal without reading:

cheers,
Gaurav
