I rolled my own before I knew there were so many out there, and it's a
little shop-specific, but you're welcome to a copy.
In any case, my simple suggestion would be to make them all optional,
then put in a statement to verify the required ones, like
die "some error message" unless $reqOpt1;
where $reqOpt1 is a variable that MUST be loaded.
Feel free to replace it with whatever syntax gets the option desired....
