well,if its golf we're playing , then a couple of minor changes saves a few lines :
$nBottles = ($ARGV[0] > 0) ? $ARGV[0] :100;
foreach (reverse(1 .. $nBottles)) {
$s = ($_ == (1 || 2)) ? "" : "s";
print "\n$_ bottle$s of beer on the wall,\n$_ bottle$s of beer,\nTake
+one down, pass it around,\n" , ($_ - 1)," bottle",(($_ - 1) == 1) ? "
+ " : "s "," of beer on the wall\n";
}
print "\n*burp*\n";
Second Update Reduced by a couple more lines :
$nBottles = ($ARGV[0] > 0) ? $ARGV[0] :100;
foreach (reverse(1 .. $nBottles)) {
print "\n$_ bottle",($_ == (1 || 2)) ? "" : "s"," of beer on the wall,
+\n$_ bottle",($_ == (1 || 2)) ? "" : "s"," of beer,\nTake one down, p
+ass it around,\n" , ($_ - 1)," bottle",(($_ - 1) == 1) ? " " : "s ","
+ of beer on the wall\n";}print "\n*burp*\n";
Update: fixed a typo (thanks to
particle)

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).
