Nope, getopt doesn't yank the first argument, it only yanks options. BTW,
I find getopts to be more useful than getopt. Vide:
$ perl -MGetopt::Std -le 'getopts("a:b:c:"); print "* $opt_a * $opt_b *
$opt_c + @ARGV"' -- -a gleep -b glub -c gulp foo
* gleep * glub * gulp + foo
$ perl -MGetopt::Std -le 'getopt("abc"); print "* $opt_a * $opt_b * $opt_c
+ @ARGV"' -- -a gleep -b glub -c gulp foo
* gleep * glub * gulp + foo
