[Buffalo-pm] one liner

[Jim Brandt]

Sounds like a good idea to me. Might be worth some web searches to see 
if there are some other one-liner tips or lists out there to start from 
or expand on.

The following is a footnote to the one-liner section in "Programming 
Perl".

"These types of scripts are often referred to as "one-liners".  If you 
ever end up hanging out with other Perl programmers, you'll find that 
some of us are quite fond of creating intricate one-liners.  Perl has 
occasionally been maligned as a write-only language because of these 
shenanigans."

So, no shenanigans! :)
