Dear Monks,

I need to give the command line options to a module. I retrieve them like
$getoptret = $p->getoptions(    
                                'house'            =>\$house,
                                'dog|d:s'           =>\$dog,
....
.... } ;

[download]
How do I get all this information in a hash. At the moment I do:
 %my_hash = { house => $house, dog => $dog, ..... } ;
One of the problems I have with this approach is that when I add a new options, I have to modify my program at two places!

Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance
Luca
