NAME
Begin - Run arbitrary code before your script starts
SYNOPSIS
perl -MBegin='print "hello world\n"' script.pl
perl -MBegin='$debug = 1' script.plDESCRIPTION
This module effectively allows to inject arbitrary code from the command line before running any perl script.
It can be used to set global variables.
I find it also useful when running the perl debugger as a REPL to test things. For instance:
perl -MBegin='$ssh=Net::OpenSSH->new(host)' -de 1SEE ALSO
