This trick appeared on September 19, 2006 on the fun with perl mailing list - Punctuation Free Quine:

s zzs vvxv and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s SxSlcfirstSe and s YZZxZYvvxvYi and print z and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s ZVZchr 122Zie and s SxSlcfirstSe and s YZZxZYvvxvYi and print

<update>

As you might expect from the wonderful perl documentation, this is documented. From perlop:

s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/msixpodualgcer
...
Any non-whitespace delimiter may replace the slashes. Add space after the "s" when using a character allowed in identifiers.
</update>

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
