My test code is as follows:

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

use Getopt::Long;

my %Options = ("Verbose" => 0);

GetOptions(
              \%Options
            , "TPID=s"
            , "User=s"
            , "Password=s"
            , "DataFile=s"
            , "Table=s"
            , "DataBase=s"
            , "Sessions:i"
            , "Verbose=i"
          ) or warn("Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!");

foreach (sort(keys(%Options)))
   {
   print("Options[$_][" . $Options{$_} . "]\n");
   }
[download]

All I get back is:

Options[Verbose][0]
[download]

Which is what I initialized %Options with in the first palce. %Options is not getting filled in.

I am pretty new to GetOpt::Long, it seems like it should work, but it doesn't? What am I missing?

Update: I answered my own question, I wasn't putting '-' in front of my parameters on the command line. Once I did that it worked.
