While I admit to being very new to Perl - I find default/pre-defined variables to be a source of constant inspiration. Using $_ $@ $| etc. can really confuse things.
Oh yeah - and overuse $_ - superfluously if possible - as an example from my first attempt I submitted today:
$_=_($_);$_+=$_;
(_ is a sub that returns the input++) and now you can use any of the following - all to get 4:
$_+=$_;
$_=$_*$_;
$_=$_**$_;
game(Wookie,opponent) eq 'Wookie' ? undef $problem : remove_limbs(arms,opponent);

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
