Is there any way to turn on the "-w" switch from within Perl?  What I
would like to be able to do is turn on the "-w" switch from inside of
a Perl script, depending on the options I pass to the script.
Specifically, if I put some debugging code in my script, which I
toggle with a "-d" switch, I would like to enable Perl's warning
messages as well.  I don't like running with "-w" enabled since Perl
warns about some things which are perfectly legal.
