in thread World's worst Perl quine

I know writing quines isn't a serious subject (at least not to me), but is it fair practice to count on the name of the file to make the quine work? It seems like using metadata like that should be considered a cheat.

    No, not at all. Save the following script: print $0 to a file named 'print $0'.

    BTW, that's part of why "worst" is in the title.
