in reply to Golfing a fibonacci number generator

There is short a section in Advanced Perl Programming (2nd Edition), which covers Perl golfing. The example that the author uses is the Fibonnacci series :)

It's only a page and a bit, but it's quite good because he explains it along the way. He eventually gets it down to 32 characters :)

Cheers,
Darren :)

    Yes, that's right and in realtion to this I posted an year ago the same one-liner but 27 chars long (the shortest one in the world): 
    print$}+=$.=$}-$.||1while.1

      Doesn't work - at least not for me. My best stab is 39 chars (which I'm sure can be improved): 
      ($x,$y)=($y,$x+$y),print$y for$x++..19

        Yes, it works just fine (blame only yourself for your errors): 
        perl -e 'print$}+=$.=$}-$.||1while.1'
