I consider putting multiple statements on one line like that to be bordering on code obfuscation.

The first code that should print an expression on more lines doesn't do this, but just prints it in a single line escaping the end of line char with \.

And the second code that in perl is done in the command line, here it needs a full program with more lines. So you were not right when you told that you can write a full program in the command line, without needing to press enter more than once.

Am I right?
