Is that ruled out for some reason?
If you consider the signature a part of the "subroutine name", then
simply making it take an arrayref as the first argument is enough
to distinguish it.
in Perl 6 you could say
multi sub GetOptions(Array @ARGV, Pair [EMAIL PROTECTED]) { ... }
is a different subroutine to
multi sub GetOptions(Pair [EMAIL PROTECTED]) { ... }
If passing an array ref first doesn't interfere with the calling
convention, then imho you don't need to change the function name.
But that, of course, is a matter of style ;-)
