Re: Using multiple args per switch with Getopts::Std

[kschwab]

&help unless (($opt_d, $opt_e) =~ /(\d{2})\/(\d{2})\/(\d{4})(.*?)$/);

isn't doing what you think it is. Compare them separately...

You may be right, but I don't think that that's where my problem lies. The print statement that prints $opt_d and $opt_e, and returns "DD/MM/YYYY", rather than "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS", is executed before hitting the regex.
