++tomte for a good answer.
I'd change the example a little. The quoting style used makes this one-liner hard to read - it forces backlashes where they aren't expected. With a *nix shell, single quotes won't force you to escape the dollar signs, ie:
$> perl -e '$pos = 0;print ($pos . " ") while(($pos = index("joe,is,at,home", ",", $pos+1)) != -1);' 3 6 9
