print "Hello, World\n" # Note, no semi-colon here!

       The only kind of simple statement is an expression
       evaluated for its side effects.  Every simple statement
       must be terminated with a semicolon, unless it is the
       final statement in a block, in which case the semicolon is
       optional.  (A semicolon is still encouraged there if the
       block takes up more than one line, because you may
       eventually add another line.)  Note that there are some
       operators like eval {} and do {} that look like compound
       statements, but aren't (they're just TERMs in an
       expression), and thus need an explicit termination if used
       as the last item in a statement.
