Subject: What does -w means in #!/usr/bin/perl -w

Hello all,

I use linux.
whenever we write a perl script we use
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
at the beginning. What does -w means here?
Is it perl specific or linux interpreter needs it?

perl -w enables warnings.
It's usefull for debugging purposes.


Marco.


True but best practices says you should `use warnings;` instead.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
