Which method are you using?

I disagree. Getopt::Std is not clear. Then again, it may be all
modules where the documentation is not clear to an experienced
programmer learning perl, since the other few modules I've looked
at (Getopt::Long,XML::Parser) weren't clear to me either. Until
I used the try a bunch of things and figure out what works method.

use Getopt::Std;
my %opthash = ();
getopt('osh',\%opthash);
print "Output to $opthash{o}\n" if defined $opthash{o};
print "Server is $opthash{s}\n" if defined $opthash{s};
print "You want help\n" if exists $opthash{h};
