Do any other languages really lend themselves to the one line command tools like perl does?
The only one off the top of my head would be ruby but I don't have that much ruby knowledge to judge.
This kind of thing however is perl's bread and butter.

So Perl's `print foreach @a` becomes Ruby's `a.each{|a| print a}`. Not so bad but it adds up.
print a.join
print foreach @a
print @a;
