Of course, I dont know if this is technically a quine, or if it would simply be frowned apon.. I was just sparked by the conversation in previous months about the concept, and figured I'd whip up something as well. Its fairly un-complex, really, but it helped me understand and more importantly -want- to know more about the concept.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
@_ = <DATA>;
foreach (@_){
    my @a = split (" ");
    foreach (@a){
        print chr;
    }
}
print @_;

Re: Quine on my lunch break

    Hey, that's pretty cool. For comparison, here is a quine I wrote while reading _Godel Escher Bach_. 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

printme(q{
sub printme {
  print "#!/usr/bin/perl\n\n";
  print "printme(q{$_[0]});\n";
  print "$_[0]";
}
});

sub printme {
  print "#!/usr/bin/perl\n\n";
  print "printme(q{$_[0]});\n";
  print "$_[0]";
}
