I am no golfer, but you don't need the -i and .bak if you are not editing the file, and I suspect this will make things slower because Perl has to keep track of whether you are editing. You can remove the 'print' if you use -p, and I figure you can remove the assignment in the below, but I am not sure how....
perl -p -e '$_ = "=$.= $_"' test.pl
