Interesting.... Does that "translate" into:

open(FILE,$0);
print <FILE>;
[download]

i.e. the one argument open is using the filename in $0 to create the filehandle 0.

In short, yes it does the same thing, but for interesting reasons. For a longer explanation, check japhy's Obfuscation review ('bout halfway down).

They've been known to try to convert the young into Perl monks." - Frank Willison	[reply]
