in reply to Why is my GetOptions() Not Working?

%Options will only be filled with parameters from the command line; everything else is left alone. If you need to provide default values, initialise them in %Options: 
my %Options = ("Verbose" => 0, User => 'user', Password => 'password',
+ ...);

    The problem is that my command line parameters are not getting into %Options. Does GetOptions require a leading '-' or '--' on the command line parameters?

      Either should work. Post how you are calling your script, including the parameters.

        See the update. You were correct I was specifying parameters without '-'s. Is there any way around requiring the '-'s?
