I'm pretty sure that's idiomatic Perl (or at least idiomatic Unix programming), but if I was feeling snarky I'd just install Quine.pm via CPAN, curse at it for a while when it fails to install due to Mac issues, grab my linux laptop instead because this quine is for something mission critical and I can't afford to waist time on incompatibilities and anyway no-one uses Macs, yadda yadda, "use Quine;", profit. Sadly that's actually a win over some of the stuff I've seen with Ruby gems.
