Monks,

In the good spirit of chromatic and his book Perl Testing, I'm writing a test for my Perl script. The script uses Getopt::Long to parse command line arguments. I have yet to find a way to succesfully pass arguments to the script using require. luckynumber.pl 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Getopt::Long;
my $luckynumber = undef;
GetOptions("luckynumber=i" => \$luckynumber) or die("GetOptions failed
+");
die "missing argument luckynumber" unless defined($luckynumber);
print "Lucky number is " . $luckynumber . "\n";

luckynumber.t 
use warnings;
use strict;

use Test::More;
use Test::Exception;

BEGIN {
  plan tests => 2,
  todo => []
}

# ------ load script without arg - expect failure
throws_ok {
  require 'luckynumber.pl'
} qr/missing argument/, 'needs argument';

# ------ load script with arg - expect ok
ok( require 'luckynumber.pl --luckynumber=42', 'script loaded ok');

Running the test yields: 
$ prove luckynumber.t
luckynumber....ok 1/2Can't locate luckynumber.pl --luckynumber=42 in @
+INC

Is there a way to pass arguments to a script using require?
