Just because it's fun, here's a very basic and short command-line RPN
evaluator :

#!/usr/bin/perl -lw
"@ARGV"=~m{^(p(?{print$s[-1]})|(\d+)(?{push@s,$2})|([+-/*])(?{eval
"\$s[-2]$3=pop\@s"})|\s)*$}g||die"Syntax error\n";
__END__

It does only +, -, *, / and p(rint), but it may be extended quite
easily (at the expense of its conciseness).
