From perllexwarn:

  -W

  If the -W flag is used on the command line, it will enable 
  all warnings throughout the program regardless of whether warnings 
  were disabled locally using no warnings or $^W =0. This includes all 
  files that get included via use, require or do. Think of it as the 
  Perl equivalent of the ``lint'' command.
