Just for fun, a simulation to confirm:
use List::Util qw/shuffle sum/;
my $RUNS = 1_000_000;
my %counts;
for (1..$RUNS) {
my @deck = shuffle 0..51;
my $in_correct_loc = grep {$_==$deck[$_]} 0..51;
$counts{$in_correct_loc}++;
}
print "Number of cards in the correct position: % of runs\n";
printf "% 4d: %.4f%%\n", $_, 100*$counts{$_}/$RUNS
for sort {$a<=>$b} keys %counts;
my $one_or_more = sum map {$_//0} @counts{1..52};
printf "1-52: %.4f%%\n", 100*$one_or_more/$RUNS;
__END__
Number of cards in the correct position: % of runs
0: 36.8130%
1: 36.8086%
2: 18.3846%
3: 6.1085%
4: 1.5349%
5: 0.2926%
6: 0.0487%
7: 0.0080%
8: 0.0010%
9: 0.0001%
1-52: 63.1870%

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
