To quote an email I just wrote:
I'm quite fond of a command line interface directly to perl: perl -e "print eval, \"\n\" while(<>);"
which would look nicer in a non-dos shell with better quoting possibilities. And it can be even shorter perl -p -e "$_=eval" but then you don't get new lines after each answer. perl -p -e "s/(.*)/$1/ee"
also works very well, but is longer.
I've never understood s///e very well before, but this just occurred to me while I was writing it. And it worked. I was amazed.
The big question is, why does it work. I don't really know.

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).
