Hi Monks,

I'm looking for a module that can parse command-line parameters without setting up expected options.

For instance, if my cmd line looks like: 

myscript.pl --name 'joe' val=0 --list 'a' 'b' 'c'

[download]

I would like to have in my script: 

my $opts = GetOpts::HelpMeHere;
$opts->{name}; # 'joe'
$opts->{list}; # [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]

[download]

It would really be great, but I can't seem to find such magic module. They all expect me to specify the options I'm supposed to get beforehand.

Thanks,

Miguel
