You can use an equals sign instead of a space, there, which makes
it a little easier to type:

    perl -MDBI=666 -e1

Actually this only works correctly if the module uses Exporter.

The code translates to

use DBI qw(666);

which Exporter has special cased to DWIM. But if the module doesnt use
Exporter then it will be treated as an argument to import and not to
VERSION.
