perlrc for perl programs

targetsmart has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I just wanted to know whether it is possible to set up hooks for every program that I do.

for eg, I am using Data::Dumper,strict, warnings, diagnostics, log::agent::logxxx routines, etc., in most of my everyday programs(from small to large), it is possible to ask perl to include these modules/pragmas from a configuration file like perlrc(eg, bashrc for bash), or is there any other way of mimicking this configuration file feature(parser, compiler... setting up some hooks in those modules).
I know that if too much of routines included this way; it will pollute the program namespace, but I believe that I can carefully use it.

Right now I am using perl-support vim plugin for this purpose; as and when I create the file, these 'use' lines will be added automatically based on some predefined templates.( but I want to be more perl-ish)
UPDATE
You could put your desired items in a perl module and then use -M command line option to include them. This would be explicit. It sounds like you're looking for something that's implicit?
Yes I am looking for something implict.

Any idea is greatly appreciated.

You can write a small module that imports everything you want, along the lines of ex::caution or Modern::Perl.	[reply]

Example: mystuff.pm `use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Scalar::Util; 1;` [download] test.pl `print Scalar::Util::reftype("foo"); print Dumper("this is some raw text");` [download] invocation: `~/src/perl$ perl -Mmystuff test.pl $VAR1 = 'this is some raw text';` [download] Still looking...

You could have a shell script call perl for you with command-line arguments. On most Unix-alikes under Bourne or bash: `#!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/perl -MMyIncludes $@` [download] On Windows using Strawberry under cmd : `@"\strawberry\perl\bin\perl" -MMyIncludes %*` [download] These of course assume fairly standard installation paths. You'll need to change those to match your system. You'd have a new way to call perl, but that way would implicitly include any module or modules you like. The remainder of any command-line arguments are passed on to perl itself in both cases.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
