Yep, pragmas are OK too.
At some point reasonably soon I want to split the command-line arg
recognition code from the arg processing code. That way embedders have full
access to the command-line control, and I can do:
perl/debug
on my VMS boxes,
perl\debug
on my Windows ones, and
perl -d
on my Unix ones.
