Golf:
# ASCII specific
print"SQQS"^"aaaa"
#23456789012345678
# 1
update: If we don't care about
strict we can do:
print+SQQS^aaaa
#23456789012345
# 1
Not golfing:
use LWP::Simple;
print get("http://perlmonks.org/?node=TMTOWTDI+the+new+year!")
=~ /printing "(\d+)"/;
# or
print y/a// for qw(aa bb bb aa);
# or
update: Oops. I didn't type kill in here orginally:
print kill($$-$$,@$_) for [$$,$$], [], [], [$$,$$];
# or
use Fcntl qw(:seek);
print SEEK_END, SEEK_SET, SEEK_SET, SEEK_END;
# or
$_ = "weirdness";
print y ueuu, y fuff, y sfss, y esee;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
