perldoc perlrun:
-s enables rudimentary switch parsing for switches on the comman
+d line
after the program name but before any filename arguments (or
+before
an argument of --). This means you can have switches with two
leading dashes (--help). Any switch found there is removed fr
+om
@ARGV and sets the corresponding variable in the Perl program
+. The
following program prints "1" if the program is invoked with a
+ -xyz
switch, and "abc" if it is invoked with -xyz=abc.
#!/usr/bin/perl -s
if ($xyz) { print "$xyz\n" }
Do note that --help creates the variable ${-help}, which is n
+ot
compliant with "strict refs".
And that last note is noteworthy. Such variables are not the same as lexical variables; they are package variables in package main::.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
