Re: empty API package -- oneliner

In unix, creating a string in double quotes will cause interpolation of whatever the shell thinks are shell variables, e.g.

 perl -we "$b=14; print $b"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "="
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

or:

echo hello world
perl -we "if($_=~/World/){print 111}"

Unquoted string "world" may clash with future reserved word at -e line
+ 1.
111

Although your posted one-liner causes no complains in my linux/bash, maybe is not working as expected since $_ has a special meaning in bash (and possibly other shells): it is the last parameter of the last command (more special variables here: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_05_02)

So, Unquoted string "world" is caused by the interpolation of $_ by bash shell
