Hi,
with c code (win) I use a port of GetOptions posix function wich I guess
is Getopt::long in perl...
(http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/lib/Getopt/Long.html)
I just pass args like this:
"/some/path/myfilter.exe -a -c -z -d=something --ciao -f20"
the order doesn't matter.
Hope it helps.
Ciao
Dario
