    Cool. Lovely piece of code.

    Map gets it down to 105 chars - yes void maps are good for golf only! 

    sub e{
#234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
@e=(1)x pop;map{map{$e[$_-1]+=$e[$_]/$_;$e[$_]=10*($
e[$_]%$_)}reverse 1..$#e;print int$e[0];$e[0]=0}1..@e
}

# or if you prefer whitespace and no void maps
sub e{
    @e=(1)x pop;
    for(1..@e){
        for(reverse(1..$#e)){
            $e[$_-1]+=$e[$_]/$_;
            $e[$_]=10*($e[$_]%$_)
        }
        print int $e[0];
        $e[0]=0
    }
}

      Simple optimizations down to 86:

      sub e{
#234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
map{$e[$q-1]+=$e[$q]/$q,($e[$q]%=$q--).=0for
1..($q=@e);$e[0]=!print"@e"|0}@e=(1)x pop
}
e(1000);

      Update from tybalt89 - 80 chars:

      $=[!print$=]=!map{$==$=[$#z]+=$=[@z]/@z,($=[@z]%=1+$#z--).=0}@z=@=for@

        Segfaults with perl v5.18.2:

        Works with v5.10.1 though. Looks like the segfault happens here: 

        $=[@z]%=1+$#z--).=0

        Can't (for now) figure out why.

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

        There was a bug in the code I posted. AFAIK it does not effect the result per se just the efficiency. By trying to scrape a char by using @e instead of $#e (as used in IOs code) within the inner loop we are accessing a non existent element one past the end of the array. As a result @e is growing by one with each inner loop.

        cheers
