Need Help??

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

Normally to include a library like use LWP at the command line I would do perl -e -MLWP "the program text" . But say I want to, say, use feature 'say' from the command line. Various inflections of perl -eMsay and perl -eM"feature 'say'" haven't worked. How should I say it? If you know what I'm saying.

See perlrun. `>perl -E "say 'hello'" hello >perl -Mfeature=say -we "say 'hello'" hello` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you!! ... To any googlers who happen to stumble upon this answer, the relevant part of perlrun is the header Command Switches and then scroll down to `-E` and further down to `-M`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
