If I ever find myself typing something like
   print "$_\n"
on the command line I tend to replace it with the equivalent -l idiom:
   $ perl -le'print for @INC'
Although not useful in this case, it's useful in other scripts because
of the auto-chomping behavior it gives to filehandle reads.  See
man perlrun for more information.
