It will grow. You just want input/output. Next, someone will want the code to start with "use strict;\nuse warnings;\n\n". Then someone will want a high-level problem description, or a list of what the OP has tried, or the output of perl -V, or some other random thing. What if input/output is superfluous or unhelpful?
