Sure:

print "Hello World!\n" ;

When I use camel:Run the buffer in Alpha I get:

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1
Emacs support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help.

# # Illegal character \012 (carriage return).
File '<AppleEvent>'; Line 3
DB::fake::(Applications N-Z:MacPerl Ä:lib:perl5db.pl:2061):
