or you could use the less module (I think it has been part of Perl since
5.6):
<example>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use less confusion;
print "Eschew obfuscation.\n"
</example>
If your version of Perl doesn't have the less module here is a copy of
what is in my version:
<file name="less.pm">
package less;
=head1 NAME
less - perl pragma to request less of something from the compiler
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use less; # unimplemented
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Currently unimplemented, this may someday be a compiler directive
to make certain trade-offs, such as perhaps
use less 'memory';
use less 'CPU';
use less 'fat';
=cut
1;
</file>
