I agree. It is a shame that senior and supposedly wise contributors here
feel the need to boost their egos by posting obscure code. It is
primarily a /beginners/ list, and should be treated as such. If you
cannot teach then please hold off from showing us your wares. Perl
already has a reputation for being incomprehensible without people who
should know better proving that they are right.
In particular I believe Perl should be treated as a programming
language. Its flexibility allows a short script to be passed on the
command line but, unless the question requires it, a perl -e "script"
solution is an ugly way to express a solution. In particular it does not
allow us to insist on the mandatory
use strict;
use warnings;
header, and the consequent declaration of lexical variables.

OK:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
# prevent silly mistakes
use strict;
# issue warnings of possible mistakes
use warnings;
# read from Perl's data file handle, contents appear after __DATA__
while( my $line = <DATA> ){
# remove trailing newline
# a newline is whatever is in $/, the $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR
# see `perldoc perlvar` and search for /\$INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR/
chomp $line;
# split on whitespace, ignore leading and trailing empty elements
# see `perldoc -f split`
my @words = split ' ', $line;
# do each word, one at a time
foreach my $word ( @words ){
# reverse each word w/ Perl's reverse(). See `perldoc -f reverse`
# since this is scalar context, the string is reversed
# since $word is the `for` iteration variable,
# any changes to it are stored back in @words
$word = reverse $word;
} # end foreach $word
# use Perl's stringification to join the words back into a line
# and print the original line and the modified one
print "$line : @words\n";
} # end while <DATA>
Awesome! Great Job! Thanks a million :(

Emeka
