Howdy!
I've taken to using Getopt::Euclid. It forces me to write POD in order to have arguments at all, then handles the option parsing for me. I suppose the main message is "don't be hand-rolling your option parser", just as "don't be hand-rolling your CGI parameter parser". Some things aren't worth the effort to reinvent save as a pedagogical exercise.
yours, Michael
