[Wellington-pm] IDEs round-the-room

[Steve Piner]

I've read someone writing about the potential for it to go all wrong and 
leave you with your debugging code running in production.

They noted that if you never had 'use Smart::Comments' or equivalent in 
your code, and only ever ran it like 'perl -MSmart::Comments 
application.pl', then it was probably safe.

It seemed like a clever way to avoid the risk.
