when ( 'h' ) { ... }

could also be replaced with

if ( $k eq 'h' ) { ...; next }

Makes it more tail-heavy than head-heavy.

In this case, this could be cleaned up by using Getopt::Long.

use Getopt::Long qw( GetOptions );

Getopt::Long::Configure(qw( posix_default ));

GetOptions(
   'help|h|?'  => \&help,
   'verbose|v' => \my $verbose,
   'force|f'   => \my $force,
   'table|t=s' => \my $table,
)
   or usage();

@ARGV == 0
   or usage( "Too many arguments" );

Sample help and usage:

use File::Basename qw( basename );

sub help {
   my $prog = basename( $0 );
   print
"Usage:
  $prog [options]
  $prog --help

Options:
  --verbose
  -v
      ...

  --force
  -f
      ...

  --table {table}
  -t {table}
      ...
";
   exit( 0 );
}


sub usage {
   if ( @_ ) {
      my ( $msg ) = @_;
      chomp( $msg );
      say STDERR $msg;
   }

   my $prog = basename( $0 );
   say STDERR "Try '$prog --help' for more information.";
   exit( 1 );
}
