Greetings,

I'd like to use the Getopt::Long module at two places: 1) in a generic module providing various general purpose tasks and 2) in a script doing some specific task. This script is of course using the module mentioned under 1). So we have:

The script (I called it mgo.pl for Multiple GetOpt): 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use MGO;
use Getopt::Long;

GetOptions('help'    => \ (my $help),
       'version' => \ (my $version),
      );

print "HELP : $help\n" if(defined $help);
print "VERS.: $version\n" if(defined $version);

[download]
The module (MGO.pm): 
package MGO;

use Getopt::Long;

GetOptions('cpu=i'   => \ (my $cpu),
       'quiet'   => \ (my $quiet),
      );

print "CPU  : $cpu\n" if(defined $cpu);
print "QUIET: $quiet\n" if(defined $quiet);

1;

[download]

Now no matter what I do, I get for every option, that is not defined in MGO.pm an "unknown option: <option>". How do I tell GetOpt::Long to ignore unknown options (the docs are silent about this)? Or how do I split the Options processing in the above meantioned way?

Thanks for any hints.

Bye
