    not by default, but only if you enable modern perl, say through Modern::Perl or -E 

    $ perl -e " say 1
Number found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "say 1"
        (Do you need to predeclare say?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "say 1"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

$ perl -E " say 1
1

        Did you try it? 

        $ perl -e " use 5.12.x;  "
syntax error at -e line 1, near "use 5.12"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

        Suggesting say is nice, if you explain how to actually enable it :)
