By the way, it's =s when you pass a reference to an array, and =s@ when you pass a reference to a scalar.
Both seem to work and do what I want. Is there any particular reason to choose one over the other?
$ cat test-gol.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Getopt::Long qw/:config pass_through/;
my ($array, @array);
# option names are: [sa][nw] s=scalar, a=array n=no '@', w=with '@'
GetOptions( 'sn=s' => \$array ) or die 'options';
print "Scalar @$array\n"; undef $array;
GetOptions( 'sw=s@' => \$array ) or die 'options';
print "Scalar @$array\n";
GetOptions( 'an=s' => \@array ) or die 'options';
print "Array @array\n"; @array = ();
GetOptions( 'aw=s@' => \@array ) or die 'options';
print "Array @array\n";
$ perl test-gol.pl --sn one --sn two --sw one --sw two --an one --an t
+wo --aw one --aw two
Scalar
Scalar one two
Array one two
Array one two

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
