PERL(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERL(1)

NAME

SYNOPSIS
perl [ -sTuU ] [ -hv ] [ -V[:configvar] ]
[ -cw ] [ -d[:debugger] ] [ -D[number/list]]
[ -pna ] [ -Fpattern ] [ -l[octal] ] [ -0[octal] ]
[ -Idir ] [ -m[-]module ] [ -M[-]<AF>module...<AF> ]
[ -P ] [ -S ] [ -x[dir] ]
[ -i[extension] ] [ -e <AF>command<AF> ] [ -- ] [ programfile ] [ argument ]...
