Re: getopt::std problem ignoring options

I am just a newbie here and this probably is not the best solution, but have you considered placing the argument in quotes. It works for me.


script.pl -a something -b "something else" -c another_one -d etc

Hi all,

     Just wondering how some of you are handling this issue that I have.
I am using the getopt::std.  When I pass in parameters to my script with
a possible mistake, the getopts ignores the rest of my switches.
For example:

script.pl -a something -b something else -c another_one -d etc

when getopts gets to the else, it doesn't proceed and populate my hash
for c or d.  Just populates a and b.  Anyone have any idea ?

I'm using Active Perl 5.6.1   &   Getopt/Std.pm 1.02

I looked at other getopt modules on CPAN - too many to look thru.  Any
recommendations ??

Thanks in advance,
