my $line = <STDIN>;
chomp $line;
Can be written chomp(my $line = <STDIN>); ;D
Anyway, a pet peeve of mine would be people writing a program in Perl as if they were writing a program in C (or C++, etc). I.e., using C-style for loops when a foreach would work much better. Or, something even more annoying, putting the curlies in the same vertical column~
for (my $i = 0; $i < $#names; $i++)
{
print $names[$i];
}
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns! chomp; # nom nom nom

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).

are good places to start.
