If you're looking for crossplatform fun, "use warnings" is more portable than the -w.
Good to know, I never tried using perl for other than experiments on Windows.

If you use $0 here, you can save yourself some editing.
True, but only in the main code body itself. Once you get into the data section after the __END__ indicator this no longer works. So you can't use it in the pod text to auto-substitute the program name there.
