And here is my masterpiece for today, wc.p6:
say*(split"",int(7e10+ +*(=open@ARGS[0])))[1..11]
Just a quick explanation about +*(=open@ARGS[0]): the
* operator forces the = $filehandle operator into
list context, which is then forced into scalar context to count the number of
lines in the file. Similar idea is used right after say, to force
the ourput of split[] into list context without the use of
join.
Update: And of course, head.p6 along similar lines:
print*(=open@ARGS[0])[0..9]

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).
