SPUG: Order of -00 and -wln matters!

[Tim Maher]

Anybody ever noticed that the relative order of -00 (for paragraph
mode) and -wln is important?  For example, see the program 
below.  I haven't found any documentation of this behavior,
which makes it seem more like a bug that a feature, although I think
its deliberate. (Tested with 5.8.0).

It seems that the $/ variable (and $\) gets set at the time
-l is encountered in the left-to-right scan of the invocation
options, rather than after all options have been processed (and -00
has a chance to change $/).

$ perl -00 -wln -e 'print' code/memo
This is the file "memo", which
starts with these three lines
spread out like so.

And then it continues to a
second paragraph.

$ perl -wln -00 -e 'print' code/memo
This is the file "memo", which
starts with these three lines
spread out like so.
And then it continues to a
second paragraph.
