This probably isn't fair without some clearer code to start with. This is based off the authors original C code. 
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $fVRR = -2.3;
my $fVRI = -1.0;
my $fMaL = 0.05;

for (my $i = 0; $i < 40; $i++)
{
    my $fCI = $fVRI + $i * $fMaL;
    for (my $j = 0; $j < 60; $j++)
    {
        my $fCR = $fVRR + $j * $fMaL;
        my $fZR = $fCR;
        my $fZI = $fCI;

        my $bI = 1;
        for (0..255)
        {
            my $fZRS = $fZR * $fZR;
            my $fZIS = $fZI * $fZI;

            if ($fZRS + $fZIS > 4)
            {
                $bI = 0;
                last;
            }

            $fZI = 2 * $fZR * $fZI + $fCI;
            $fZR = $fZRS - $fZIS + $fCR;

        }
        print $bI?" ":"+";
    }
    print "\n";
}
