Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think so.
I assumed the intent was to print the elements in @INC
and from the Camel book, $_ is defined as 'The default input and
pattern-searching space.' as well as 'The default iterator variable in a
foreach loop if no other variable is supplied'

What do you mean by if you were allowed to omit it, it wouldn't be the
default?

It makes sense that print print "\n"; will print the success of print "\n";
is this what you meant?
