"I also prefer to reduce the scope of many of the options. Instead of making the hash available "everywhere", I can often make it clearer which options impact the behavior of a particular sub. Or that some option(s) impact nothing other than some small scope."

Fascinating.

But to be honest, i'm a bit unsure if i guessed right what you mean.

Or in other words: IMHO there is nothing wrong with this idiom:

MAIN: {
     my %options;
     GetOptions(\%options, "foo", "bar"); 
     nose ($options{foo}, $options{bar});
}

sub nose {
    my ($foo, $bar) = @_;
    # stuff
    my $cuke;
}

Thank you very much for advice and best regards, Karl
