perl command line switches.

[columb]

I like to use perl for small utilities embedded in Unix scripts, and I know that there is the

perl -e 'commands'

syntax. Recently I was made aware or 'perl -n' and I believe there are others. Since then I've been plowing through man pages and O'Reiley books but I can't find the documentation which tells me exactly how to use these switches, and what other switches are available.


Any pointers, preferably to a web resource, would be gratefuully received.

Google for "perlrun" (or type "perldoc perlrun" on your command line).

Thanks to you both. I got exactly what I wanted. Life is so much easier when you can find TFM to read.
