Now inline it
perl -e'print"*shun*
"for 1..50'
Or using Scott's trick:
perl -e'print"*shun*
"x50'
(Both assume a Unix-like shell.)
Cheers,
Ben
PS Ruby still wins at 25:
ruby -e'puts"*shun*
"*50'
PPS OK, there is a shorter entry, but it didn't include invoking the language etc. The Ruby program proper is 16 chars.
