I wouldn't suggest using this as your reference for core Perl modules. You
should use perldoc on the command-line, or failing that, www.perldoc.com.
The problem is the documentation you find under
http://search.cpan.org/doc/JHI/perl-5.7.1/ is for Perl 5.7.1, which is the
experimental version. Things are likely to change or be somewhat different
from what you're using.

In what way does getopt not work? What are you getting? What did you
expect?
Example:
perl -MGetopt::Std -we 'getopt("nh", \%opts);
print map { "$_ => $opts{$_}\n" } keys(%opts);' -- -n test -h
Outputs:
n => test
h =>
As I would expect.
