in reply to Why will v-strings be deprecated

I've picked up on other people using $/ to avoid quoting difficulties.   It can be a problem getting the quoting right on Win command lines.   Using 
    perl -e "print 'Hello World!',$/"
works nicely.

    Even easier:) 

     perl -le "print 'Hello World!'"

      Easiest (assuming you have more than one output statement in your script): 

      # THIS
use feature 'say';
# OR
use 5.10.0;

# THEN
say 'Hello, World!';

      Perl6::Say fails Build test, at least for me.

        Actually, I still find -l easier. But back in 2003, 5.10 was still nothing more than a twinkle in its fathers eyes.
