>From the style standpoint, print would be better here. The whole point
of this code is to print something. Use the expanded syntax (print) to
make that clear. The compact syntax is for cases when the printing is
more of a side effect or afterthought:
while (<>){
push @line, >$_<;
};

I tried to simulate this with some exotic open commands, but I couldn't
get it to work. This looks like a potentially useful extention to
print. Perhaps it should be RFCed...
