> Using the 18 keystrokes in `use feature 'say';` somewhat negates the saving really... `c:\>perl -e"use 5.10.0; say 'works'" works` [download] Specifying a minimal version activates many "newer" features, not only `say` see https://perldoc.perl.org/feature#IMPLICIT-LOADING for more.

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."'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

> 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'" 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. c:\Strawberry>` [download] update So it's actually one character less. Not sure why they didn't include "warnings" too.
