in reply to Insane Uses for Perl

Off-topic, I'm sure... but this line only gives me a compile error:
perl -le 's ssSss.s sSsSiss.s s$sSss.ss .$s\107ss.print'
Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "$s\" (Missing operator before \?) Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "107ss" (Missing operator before ss?) syntax error at -e line 1, near "$s\" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
What gives...?
