Re: Space in getopt option value

[toolic]

Here is one way:

use warnings;
use strict;
use Getopt::Long;
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys=1;

my %opt;
GetOptions(\%opt, 'foo=s') or die;
print Dumper(\%opt);

__END__


myhack.pl --foo 'bar1 bar2 bar3'

$VAR1 = {
          'foo' => 'bar1 bar2 bar3'
        };

The you can process $opt{foo} if you wish.
