People talk about one-liners, but it's usually just to say that someone's usefull little utility could be collapsed into an unreadable glumph of line noise .... wait, that's the deinition of Perl, isn't it?
But what one-liners do people actually use? I regularly alter Autosys meta-scripts to run a new version of a set of scripts, or to target a new database, or to run on a new host, using perl as a super-sed:
co -l *np40*
perl -pi -e"m/host:/ && s/paias167/pa167c1n1/"
ci -u -m'move scripts to new hosts' *np40*

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).
