+enables Perl to use the native wide character APIs on the target system.
+The magic variable C<${^WIDE_SYSTEM_CALLS}> reflects the state of
+this switch. See L<perlvar/"${^WIDE_SYSTEM_CALLS}">.
+
+This feature is currently only implemented on the Win32 platform.

=item B<-c>
causes Perl to check the syntax of the program and then exit without
-executing it. Actually, it I<will> execute C<BEGIN>, C<END>, and C<use> blocks,
-because these are considered as occurring outside the execution of
-your program. C<INIT> blocks, however, will be skipped.

=item B<-d>
A colon-separated list of directories in which to look for Perl library
files before looking in the standard library and the current
-directory. If PERL5LIB is not defined, PERLLIB is used. When running
-taint checks (because the program was running setuid or setgid, or the
-B<-T> switch was used), neither variable is used. The program should
-instead say
+directory. Any architecture-specific directories under the specified
+locations are automatically included if they exist. If PERL5LIB is not
+defined, PERLLIB is used.

+The program should instead say:
use lib "/my/directory";
