As a Perl/Python guy I have to object to calling the -m stuff Perl-esque.  This is a very Pythonish thing.  In the Perl world we never treat modules as scripts; they are separate concepts written separately and installed in separate locations.  There is no feature of perl similar to the Pythonish -m stuff.
