As a minor point: this
my $usage = " Usage: $scriptname (-type<type> -OIMID <oimid> -version <version_numbe +r> -out <filename> ) -type <type> :A|B -version <version_number> :Required.Minimum Security Versio +n Number. -OEMID <oemid> : Required. -out <filename> : Required. ";
could be a heredoc, which would make it easier to lay it out nicely:
my $usage = <<USAGE; Usage: $0 -type[A|B] -OEMID id -version nnnn -out filename where version: minimum security version (integer) OEMID: one of the OEM IDs fron (source here...) out: name of any writable file USAGE
I altered the usage to conform to the more-often used standards from man pages, but you can use whatever makes sense to your users. The point is that it was easy for me to line things up because I'm writing it down exactly the way it will appear when it's printed.

You might also consider just printing to STDOUT instead of forcing an output file; that way your script could, for instance, pipe into grep or sort.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
