I think it should print out a banner message, too.

A couple of times I was wondering whether perl was installed on a machine
and typed 'perl' to see -- and "nothing happened". (I suppose either of
`which perl` or `perl -v` would be a better way to find out, but still.)

Having Perl tell me 'this is perl5.7.0\n> ' or similar would have been
nice. But that's just me.

Cheers,
Philip
