Santa Hole 5 (wc.pl) Post Mortem

This hole was one by Japhy with his first post in the opening
hours of the game.
Like hole 2, this proved very frustrating with all attempts
to improve on printf failing. BooK, in particular, made repeated
heroic attempts:
"My wc.pl is 21, but uses printf. I tried many things to get rid of
printf, but all of them ended up being longer...
Here they are (the first ' ' marks the end of the command-line switches):
-n END{print$a,$/}BEGIN{$a='00'x5}++$a # 38
-n BEGIN{$a=$-x10}$a++;END{print$a,$/} # 38
-n INIT{$a=$-x10}$a++;END{print$a,$/} # 37
-lp0 $_=y/\n//;$_=$-x(- y///c%10).$_ # 36
-lp0 $_=substr$-x9 .y/\n//,-10 # 30
These are the longuest I did. All my shorter ones use printf."
