Hi,

I have 2 minimalistic pm files: 
# SYPH1.pm
package SYPH1;
$SYPH1::VERSION = '0.01';
1;

[download]
and 
# SYPH2.pm
package SYPH2;
if(defined $INC{'SYPH1.pm'}) {print "SYPH1.pm loaded\n"}
else {print "SYPH1.pm NOT loaded\n"}
1;

[download]
On Windows, I run: 
D:\>set PERL5OPT=

D:\>perl -MSYPH1 -MSYPH2 -e ""
SYPH1.pm loaded

D:\>perl -MSYPH1 -e "use SYPH2"
SYPH1.pm loaded

D:\>set PERL5OPT=-MSYPH1

D:\>perl -e "use SYPH2"
SYPH1.pm loaded

D:\>perl -MSYPH2 -e ""
SYPH1.pm NOT loaded

D:\>

[download]
And that all makes perfect sense to me, except for the last command.
For some reason SYPH2 gets loaded before before SYPH1.
Is there some way to get the module specified by "PERL5OPT" loaded before the module(s) specified by "-M" ?

Cheers,
Rob
