Re: Getopt::Long

So I tried to pass in one huge string consisting of all the parameters I want ( ie GetOptions( \%myHash, "home=s,instance=s,fileSuffx:s") but that didn't work either (which didn't surprise me).

I think, actually, that all you're missing is that the parameter descriptions must be an array (not just a big string run together with commas). Try this:

GetOptions( \%myHash, "home=s", "instance=s", "fileSuffx=s")

Enjoy.
