Firstly, I would need to do that on every computer I might
run Perl on, which in itself is harly possible.  At the
very least it is rather impractical.

Secondly, I run Perl with many different combinations of
options, like "perl -w", "perl -wn", "perl -0777 -wn", etc.
which makes that approach even far less feasible.

By the way, you did mean "$@" and not $*, didn't you? :-)
