shell-command-on-region. With a prefix argument it replaces the region with the shell command's output. Great way to run Perl one-liners on whatever you're editing!

Also, align-regexp. Ideal for picky types who want a bunch of assignments to line up on the =. ;)

    that reminds me! I forgot cperl-mode's C-M-| for lining up stuff. I use that alot.

    Just don't miss and hit backspace in X windows...
