shouldn't it be "B::Deparse"?"
perl -MB::Deparse -e"foo()"
is the same as
perl -e"use B::Deparse; foo()"
You can use Deparse to see that:
>perl -MO=Deparse -MB::Deparse -e"foo()"
use B::Deparse;
foo();
-e syntax OK
B::Deparse loads functions to deparse Perl code. But since you never use the module, it's rather useless to load the module.
O, on the other hand, behaves very specially when loaded. It loads the program, dumps it using the specified dumper (e.g B::Deparse), and prevents it from executing as if -c had been specified.
>perl -MO=Deparse -e"foo()"
foo();
-e syntax OK
>perl -MO=Concise -e"foo()"

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).
