in thread Finding what args were passed to the perl interpretter ?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem applicable to the problem I was trying to solve (which I guess I didn't state in my original post): the ultimate goal was for a script to detect that it was being run under -d:NYTProf, and to add that option (and other similar things) to various child perl-scripts that it runs.

    I don't think there's a general way to get the arguments to perl from with Perl. However, an XS routine may be able to access argv and argc (although I've no idea whether perl itself leaves them as is).

    As for your specific request, detecting -d:NYTProf, it may be done. One of the effects of -d:foo is that it loads Devel::foo, and calls Devel::foo -> import. You may want to try to mask Devel::NYTProf::import.
