Yeah, takes ya back to the days of LISP, doesn't it?! Perl also allows for
self-modifying code -- that's how the famous "illegal" RSA Perl script
worked. In the really old days, lots of 8080 operating system routines had
self-modifying code to save space. It was popular until the side-effects of
code maintenance, extensibility and debug-ability overwhelmed it. In this
case, it's a very neat solution with numerous uses.
