Hi all, Just a quick question and a couple of lines of really simple code.... use Getopt::Long; ... GetOptions ('h' => \$h, 'b=s' => \$s );
Sub ShowHelp() { print "this is help" } Sub DoSomethingWithString() { ... } If ($s) { DoSomethingWithString(); } else { ShowHelp(); } Right. Now, whilst the above is not perhaps 100% correct, it goes about a generality of Getopt::Long. If I now run the application, ./blah.pl -h - I get the help screen ./blah.pl -s - I get a error, complaining that -s requires a value, and THEN the help screen. ./blah.pl -s s - Everything is fine. So, this is more of a block question I think, but how I can get the above example to show the help screen FIRST, and THEN complain about the missing value for -s ????
