You could easily add a method that accepted named parameters instead of
positional (which IMO would improve readability a lot):
GetOptions(from => [EMAIL PROTECTED],
described_by => ["length=i", file=s", "verbose"],
to => \%args,
...);
IMO that's usually the right way to make the interface when there are
lots of different orthogonal options that the caller might want to
employ.
How you name the parameters would be up to you, of course.
