#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

but isn't that octothorpe a comment tag?

Yes. It is. However, that's also the way the path to Perl is
specified. It's commonly referred to as the "shebang" line.

To further dissect that particular line, the -w turns on warnings to
display any warnings or errors.

The -T parameter turns on Taint mode, which means that variables that
come from outside the script cannot modify files or other processes
without first being "cleaned" or checked by the script. Taint mode is
STRONGLY recommended for any script that uses user supplied data, like
from a form.

The -wT is simply a combination of the two.
