Update: You're right it doesn't. Didn't notice that. Looks like the rest of you are taking what I made and running w/ it. *shrug*

I count you at 73 (congratz!), but I also don't think it gives what Masem asked for. Using your idea, I got me down to 87 chars:

@s=('*',' *'x5,'='x15,"\n");@t=(' *'x5,"\n",@s)x3;@u=("\n",'='x26,"\n"
+)x3;print@s,@t,@u

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

I think your code produces a picture that's a little bit different from the original question.

Here's one at 83:

@s=("*"," *"x5,"="x15,"\n");@p=((@s," *"x5,"\n")x3,@s,("\n",'='x26,"\n
+")x3);print@p

oooh, with some mods to yours...

sub f{print(($/,"* "x5,'*',"="x15,$/," *"x5)x3,($/,"="x26,$/)x3)}
      123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_12345678

58!

and it prints the same as the example

Actually, it doesn't.

@s=('*'," *"x5,"="x15,$/);print((@s," *"x5,$/)x3,@s,($/,'='x26,$/)x3)

and that's a nice round 69! :)

67... and yours can go to 66...

I think this would exemplify the core philosophy of the Free Software movement. i.e. Take a good idea and refine it.
