Fortunately it's really just saving a few keystrokes; one-liners will survive without it. Also worth noting, perhaps: Object/Class-method calls do work. It's functions (non-methods) that trip up the error.

I find it very valuable and wish to retain the ability to use modules on the command line without having to refer to them twice and tinker with -M! As for the second point, you would think so, but check this out: 

perl -ML -e 'print Data::Dumper->Dump([HTTP::Tiny->new->get(q(https://
+www.perlmonks.org))->{headers}])'
