Apparently, Windows doesn't like using '|' as the delimiter for y, so we
get to throw in a measure of obfuscation:

perl -e'$:=pop;print$_=pop,$:x-(y---c-pop)' 10 abc d

I tried using both 'y' and 'c' as the delimiter, but they both produce
the same, incorrect results (ten 'd's after 'abc' instead of seven).
