My article on Perl's command line options has just been published on perl.com.

Hope it's useful.

    Great article. Just to augment the mention of the -c option, many editors can be made to do this automatically.

    For vim, add this to your .vimrc file and perl -c will be run simply by saving your script without even exiting. 

    au BufWritePost *.pl,*.pm !perl -c %

      I'm getting that occasionally. Seems to be a intermittent problem. Try just hitting "reload".

      It's quite common with ORA. Often an author will tell people their article has just gone up and all you get from ORA for a few hours is 500 Errors. Sometime it's like that for a whole weekend, sometime it's just the printable version of the story. Strange...
