Update: gets down to 42 omitting the parenthesis in (<*>). It becomes 
#12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456
 my$a=$_[0];grep{open F,$_;grep/$a/,<F>}<*>

Update2: As pointed out by others, the usage of variable $a is totally useless.
Update3: If $a were of any use, one wouldn't need my anyway, since $a and $b are special (think sort) and don't upset strict.
Update4: As observed by crazyinsomniac, $a becomes global refers to the package global $a without my.which is a bad thing. This is a potentially bad thing.
