Haven't you asked this already? Oh well, here's my version:
1. awk '{print $3}' filename
vs.
1. perl -alpe'$_=$F[2]' filename

2. awk -Fc '{print $3}' filename
vs.
2. perl -Fc -alpe'$_=$F[0]' filename

If you know how to do it, what are you asking? Obviously TIMTOWTDI (duh!),
so how do you define "equivalent" in this context? The "best" way? The most
"awk like" way? What?
