All the problems want me to write my own damn option parsing module. How do people cope when writing a a Perl wrapper which accepts known & unkwon options for the wrapped program?

If they are unknown options what are you trying to do with them except pass them on to the next app? if so just pass ARGV directly. If you are trying to parse the option flags then that kinda implys the options are known. Shrug.
