I like Getopt::Mixed, which lets you use either "-abc=foo", "--alpha --beta --cletus=foo", or, "--alpha -bc=foo". 
### EZ way:
use Getopt::Mixed;
 
Getopt::Mixed::getOptions qw(
 help h>help
 file f>file
 list=i l>list
);

print "$opt_help, $opt_file, $opt_list";

### 'Harder' way (more flexible, but you have more to write):
use Getopt::Mixed "nextOption";

Getopt::Mixed::init
qw(
 help h>help
 file f>file
 id=i i>id
);

my ($opt_id, $opt_file, $opt_help);  

while (($option, $value, $pretty) = nextOption()) {
    if ($option eq 'id') {
        $opt_id = $value;
    }
    elsif ($option eq 'help') {
    # etc.
    }
}
