Or C. Both of the above :)

-D name=value dumps values in a global namespace that's shared by all  
plugins (so they could all recognise -Ddebug=1 for example) and  
private options can be inlined after the -M.

# Debug all plugins
$ prove -MSome::Plugin -MSome::Other::Plugin -Ddebug=1

# Debug selectively
$ prove -MSome::Plugin=debug,1 -MSome::Other::Plugin
