      We define a fractional version of the notion of ``kernels'' in digraphs, and prove that every clique-acyclic digraph (i.e., one in which no clique contains a cycle) has a fractional kernel. Using this we give a short proof of the recent result of Boros and Gurvich (proving a conjecture of Berge and Duchet) that every clique-acyclic orientation of a perfect graph has a kernel.
