My installed Perl is 5.8.3:
$ perl -d -eb
Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.23
Editor support available.
Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.
main::(-e:1): b
DB<1>
Of course, it's unlikely that anyone uses -eb (not a terribly useful
program), but it's worth thinking about the fact that you're going to
have to accept "-ecode" and recognize that "code" happens to be a flag.
I'd be much happier with long options, but that's just me.
