Changes in version 2.35 ----------------------- : * Options can take multiple values at once. E.g., --coordinates 52.2 16.4 --rgbcolor 255 255 149 To handle the above command line, the following call to GetOptions can be used: GetOptions('coordinates=f{2}' => \@coor, 'rgbcolor=i{3}' => \@color); You can specify the minimum and maximum number of values desired. The syntax for this is similar to that of regular expression patterns: { min , max }.
