That's going to print the result of the s///, which will be a success/fail
boolean.  I also consider it bad form to modify $_ within the map block,
because sometimes it fails (read only), and is at least misleading.

I'd go with something like this:

print reverse map { /(.*):(.*)/ or die; "_$1_:$2\n" } <>;
