CGI, IPC::ShareLite - two off the top of my head.  I figure it's a sort of
syntax-highlighting for people that don't use emacs cperl-mode and a color

The only bad thing about it is that 5.004 sometimes gets confused and
treats the - as a unary minus.  Even worse, sometimes it does so and
doesn't print an error!
