By the way, you don't really need to assign the $opt_x variables to a new
variable. $opt_s will be persistant, unless you run getopt again, which would

Put quotes around your arguments. Use single quotes if you are not doing
variable substitution, and double quotes if otherwise.
That is:
my_program.pl -s 'will[1]' "$will"

This is true for getopt, but not getopts.
Getopts puts the parameter in the hash table (I am working on 5.005_03
