Unfortunatly the best mnemonics are the one which are personnal.

I managed to remember some mnemonics given in the Camel book
(those about the perlvar...)
But they're not as efficient with me as the one I made myself..

So my question is : will my (french!) mnemonics be useful to you ?

Netherless Perl and a lot of other good tools use option name and shortcut
based on english words (the -T for Tainted mode...) I've learn to use it to
recall them more easily.
(when It was obvious or when I couldn't find a good mnemonic by myself)

UPDATE :
Another related advice I would give you is to first determine what kind
of memory you have (visual, auditive...) to define the best way to boost
your memory .

For my part having a visual memory I only recall what I read, so I spot the page whith the info I want to remember and then I read it several time
(I then 'see' the page each time I'm looking for one info...)
but some people need to recite/hear some sentences to recall the info...

This is important too in the way you choose your mnemonics if you have
an auditive memory rhymes is a good way,
(-Tainted is the mode which protects your code)
if you have a visual memory you could build picture to remind the info
(like imagining a T like an umbrella with hackers bouncing on it, could be a good mnemonic for the -T switch...)

Of course you're encouraged to find better example ;-)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
