Make a module file "STDOUT.pm" and put it in your site_perl, containing:

   package STDOUT;
   open STDOUT, ">>foo" or die $!;

The go to Preferences -> Environment and add an environment var named
"PERL5OPT" with the value "-MSTDOUT".  Done!

Although I think I remember -M not working anymore in PERL5OPT in a future
perl version.  I forget.

They are supported on the #! line, except for -T, which for good reason
cannot work in the existing setup.  -w and -d work fine, though.  And there
is little reason to need -T to work on the #! line, since for CGIs you can
use the Taint Check CGI Script extension.  It would be nice for -T to work
on the command line, and maybe it can be looked into.
