bsb,
How does this make the one liner shorter? Isn't '->' the same length as '-M'? If I wanted to use more than one exported function (or the same function more than once) from Foo::Bar wouldn't this actually make the 1 liner longer?

perll -e 'print Foo::Bar->blah()'
perl -MFoo::Bar -e 'print blah()'

perll -e 'print Foo::Bar->blah(), Foo::Bar->asdf()'
perl -MFoo::Bar -e 'print blah(), asdf()'

I admit that using a one liner is extremely rare for me and I am likely missing something. Would you mind giving a more detailed explanation of how this helps or is it just "cool"?
