Severity: normal
Hi!
Getopt::Long insists on a space between the switch and the value, if
it's a short switch. This is not GNU getopt compatible and quite
annoying. I stumbled upon this annoyance with dpkg-sig which needs the
space between -k and the keyid, and on the other hand debsign insists on
no space between -k and the keyid (which on the other hand is also a
bug there which will be reported seperately, but still this is a bug in
Getopt::Long).
The description in the manual page says that it implements the GNU
extensions, so this is quite surely a bug. It would be great if it could
be fixed, otherwise I'll have to file bugreports for switching to
Getopt::Mixed which does it right (and even is smaller and faster, it
seems). Maybe upstream should rather bundle Getopt::Mixed instead if
this can't be fixed or noone wants to.
So long,
Alfie

Hi!
Erm, using the bugnumber only in the subject isn't really helpful, it
makes it hard to search for the mail in crowded mailboxes ....
Anyway:

Actually, I noticed this in the meantime myself - and even though I
would have sent that finding to the bugreport. So even though it may
look ugly it's a shortcut that I am willing to accept as non-bug - if
you feel like it you can close this bug. :)
Actually, doing it myself. So long!
