That is not such a hard thing to do. For any solution under 21 chars, you
can easily add as many semicolons as you want to bring that up to 21. I
believe that's the reason "Perl Bowling" will never catch on. There's no
real upper limit to your code size!

That's is still much better than "Python Golf" where all the contestants end
up with the same score every time :)
