Try it and see! I'm serious. It'll be an interesting experiment.
BTW The modules themselves might be -w clean, but the testing suite
certainly isn't!

Sorry, misspoke. That works. This does not:
PERL5OPT='-Mwarnings -Mstrict' perl -wle 'print keys %INC'
unkown warnings category '-Mstrict' at -e line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
It seems to be parsing that as: C<use warnings '-Mstrict'>. IMHO this
is a bug.
