Agreed. I don't think anyone would feel very good about winning a

Any ideas on what accounts for the need to use $0 instead of any other var?
That first regex led me to an interesting "Abigailism" for Fibonacci
numbers:
http://www.perlmonks.com/index.pl?node_id=98691
perl -le '(1 x $_++) =~ /^(1(??{1x$-[1]}))*$/ && print while 1'
perl -le 'print "Fibonacci" if (1x(-1+pop)) =~ /^(1(??{1x$-

Not the shortest, though perhaps the most ironic:
eval 'use less "memory"' while 1;
You may also want to check out
