Sorry, was I unclear? I don't think that I'm assuming anything except
that GetOptions() is not intended for the example that you give.
I think you're agreeing with me. Am I wrong?

To be more specific, it uses GetOptions() to parse its parameter list,
which is why I suggested having a method which works for other
applications.
$opt->get([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
No @ARGV here. Your example illustrates one of the reasons that I
started working on Getopt::Crazy.
