I use the -ne quite a bit. Off the top of my head, here's a cheesy
version of (unix) grep's -n option to print line numbers:
perl -ne 'print "$. $_" if m/some pattern/' my_file.txt
Or, say I want to rip through a file that is just a plaintext table of
info with a column I want to sum:
perl -ne '$total+=(split)[columnnumber];END{print $total}' my_file.txt
Hope this helps,
