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.
