in reply to how did this module get into CPAN ?!
There's a test for Getopt::Std in the perl repository, namely in lib/Getopt/Std.t in perl.git. If your snippet passes these tests, file a bug report that it needs more testing.
If you have enough tests that you feel comfortable that your code does what it should, send is a patch to p5p. The porters are always happy to remove old cruft, as long as you preserve backwards compatibility.
