On a more serious note, you cats may want to try

        perldoc -m Getopt::Std

and walk through what is in the code - since it
has a really nice structure of the form

        
     while (@ARGV && ($_ = $ARGV[0]) =~ /^-(.)(.*)/) {
         ($first,$rest) = ($1,$2);
         if (/^--$/) {   # early exit if --
             shift @ARGV;
             last;
         }
                .....
        }
     unless (ref $hash) {
         local $Exporter::ExportLevel = 1;
         import Getopt::Std;
     }

Which may help you resolve how traditionally the
walk through @ARGV has been handled.

remember that the '-m' arg to perldoc lets you
view the whole of the Module and not merely the POD.

The same adventure throught

        perldoc -m Getopt::Long

will also show you the funk on the inside of that
module - and perchance give you a better way to
go about evaluating which is the more sensical solution.
