I could live with PERL5OPTS for ages, especially since perl uses
PERL5OPT, not PERL5OPTS ;-)
However, PERL5OPT seems to have some gross failures:

% env PERL5OPT='-Mstrict -W' perl -e 'print $x'
% env PERL5OPT='-Mstrict -w' perl -e 'print $x'
% env PERL5OPT='-Mstrict' perl -e 'print $x'
Global symbol "$x" requires explicit package name at -e line 1.
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
% env PERL5OPT='-WMstrict' perl -e 'print $x'
Illegal switch in PERL5OPT: -W.

This is bleedperl @6534.
