Yeah, I know that's shorter.  :)

But I usually work out these little one-liners in full Perl, and like 
to have the wrapper in line for easier testing. Then I mush it with a 
TM command 'turn into One-Liner'.  Also, for some commands, I prefer 
to do some preprocessing, e.g. with CocoaBones, or post-processing, 
and it's hard to use -p with that.

So the upshot is, I appreciate the tip; but for my hacking style it's 
easier to have the loop explicit.

best, Eric
