I dont know about print, but assignment to a scalar works fine:
perl -e 'print $a=(localtime())[5]' 105

Update: Or, following BrowserUK:

perl -e 'print +(localtime())[5]' 105

Update: But not (in response to socketdave):

perl -e 'print (localtime())[5]' syntax error at -e line 1, near ")[" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
It seems we are hitting the finer points in the parser here...
