There are many Getopt:: packages. Perhaps you should look into other ones. :) Do you really need these variables you speak of or are you just trying to port 1:1? Personally, I use Getopt::Long because I like supporting long options as well. I don't think I've ever used them in Perl (probably in C), but I /think/ Getopt::Long supports those options (I'm too tired to check). The options that seem to work as I prefer them: use Getopt::Long qw/:config auto_help bundling no_auto_abbrev no_getopt_compat no_ignore_case_always no_require_order permute/; I don't care for "guess what I meant" software. I prefer software that does what you say and refuses to work when that doesn't make sense. ^^ -- Brandon McCaig <bamcc...@gmail.com> <bamcc...@castopulence.org> Castopulence Software <https://www.castopulence.org/> Blog <http://www.bamccaig.com/> perl -E '$_=q{V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl. }. q{Vg qbrfa'\''g nyjnlf fbhaq gung jnl.}; tr/A-Ma-mN-Zn-z/N-Zn-zA-Ma-m/;say' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
