You never have to type boilerplate if you use a template for new scripts. Command line is even better–

perl -E 'say "What you will."'

> type boilerplate if you use a template for new scripts

even w/o template, overhead doesn't become bigger.

use v5.12; makes the use strict; line obsolete

c:\Strawberry>perl -e"use v5.12; say 'works'"

c:\Strawberry>perl -e"use v5.12; say $x"
Global symbol "$x" requires explicit package name (did you forget to d
+eclare "my $x"?) at -e line 1.
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
