Yes, please! Needing to look at the Perl source code to learn about the possible parameters sucks, doubly so for the Windows binary builds. Having the tools print out usage information when started without any parameters (or with any one of -? /? -h /h -help /help --help) would add a lot for the casual user.
Since I want to do some testing for the mobils binary under Windows, expect a Windows binary build from me sometime this evening. (Unless someone beats me to it, of course.)
