After reading the responses by ++haukexRe^4: this thread and ++DiscipulusRe^4: this thread, I now have: 

PERL5OPT=

[download]

in .bash_profile (whence it's exported via set -a). And 

alias perlo='perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -Mautodie=:all'

[download]

[perlo = perl + options] in .bash_aliases (which is sourced by .bash_profile).

While I don't think it would actually make any of my scripts "non-portable", I can foresee issues with 3rd party scripts: t/*.t scripts leapt to mind as an obvious example.

Thanks again for alerting me to this: I have discontinued using PERL5OPT.
