Here's a completely different approach as a self-contained program for quick testing.

( The Getopt::Long::Configure isn't necessary here, but I personally use it whenever I'm using Getopt::Long as programs tend to grow to where I'd want it. ) 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Getopt::Long ();

my %opt = ( 'do-stuff' => 0, 'do-more' => 0 );

Getopt::Long::Configure( 'gnu_getopt' );
Getopt::Long::GetOptions( \%opt, 'do-stuff+', 'do-more+' );

my $counter = 1;

if ( $opt{ 'do-stuff' } ) {
    my @stuff_to_do = ( sub { print "some stuff\n"; } );
    push @stuff_to_do, sub { print "some more stuff\n"; } if $opt{ 'do
+-more' };

    for my $s ( @stuff_to_do ) {
        $s->();
    }
    $counter--;
}

print "$counter\n";
