eval, complies with
strict:
our ($user,$pass,$numb,$help);
my @cmdopt = (
[qw(user u=s)],

[qw(help h ?)],

It will even bomb out if your variable and option names mismatch:
Use of uninitialized value in ref-to-glob cast at t.pl line ##.
Can't use string ("") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use at t.pl line ##.
Of course, this assumes that the variables live in package
main. If you need them elsewhere, the
$main:: bit will need adjustment. It is possible to generalize even that bit, but that requires some painful twisting - or disabling the ref stricture.
Makeshifts last the longest.
