GAWD! Well, the fact that you write "optimized" yourself suggests that it is really an unwanted side effect of an optimization... may I push it as far as to dare to say that it is a bug?

Well, another trick that I verified not to be flawed is:

my $count=map $_, split;
[download]

of course it doesn't just taste as good... hmmm, how 'bout:

my $count=+(split);  # ?!?
[download]

(also verified!)

$ perl -lpe '$_=+(split)'
foo
1
bar baz
2
[download]
