I like the s/ /-/, but some of the surrounding syntax needs work. I'll present my version(s) first, then explain things.
I think that's it. You might want to check out -l for making all the line endings work nicely. This came up on the SPUG mailing list recently (SPUG: Docs on "-l" wrong?), where I described -l as "Automagically takes care of line endings, so you don't have to think about chomp or \n - high DWIMage factor." That's how it was first explained to me, and it covers the basics. We had one-liners come up on the SPUG mailing list in April (SPUG:Best One-Liners and Scripts for UNIX) and the discussion was quite instructive - that's where I started learning about the flags. Oh, yeah. One more flag which you need to know: -c will check your code to see if it compiles. Not strictly one-linerish, but it is technically a command line flag. :) Perl programming and scheduling in the corporate world, as explained by dragonchild: "Uhh ... that'll take me three weeks, broken down as follows: 1 day for coding, the rest for meetings to explain why I only need 1 day for coding."
