A long time ago, I accidentally wrote this little Sierpinski triangle generator obfu, sier.pl, while playing golf IIRC:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l
s--@{[(gE^Ge)=~/[^g^e]/g]}[g^e]x((!!+~~g^e^g^e)<<pop).!gE-ge,
s-[^ge^ge]-s,,,,s,@{[(g^';').(e^'?')]},(G^'/').(E^'|')^Ge,ge,
print,s,(?<=/[^g^e])[^g^e][^g^e],$&^(G^'/').(E^'|')^gE,ge-ge

Running, for example:

perl sier.pl 5

displays:
