Hmm that was a fluke!
I just found I could do something by accident. I keep thinking there must be a simple explanation as to why it happened but I can't think why :)

$_ = 'Hello';

Now, without using:

print $_;

or

print;

or

print "Hello";

....can anyone print Hello ?

But you also just asked how do you print 'hello' without using your choice of three ways to print - which I did ;-)
