You could use Getopt::Long: `local @ARGV = @_; GetOptions( # . . . ) or warn 'Whatever';` [download] After Compline, Zaxo	[reply] [d/l]

It's a pet peeve of mine that Getopt::Long doesn't accept input from anything but `@ARGV`. I really hope this changes in Perl6 (and no, not just so that it expects input only from `@*ARGS` ;-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are there getopt libraries for other languages that take input from places other than the command line? I realize that taking values from the environment or from an rc file might be useful, but I would argue against putting that in the getopt library but rather have applications handle it on a case by case basis. thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]

You can, of course, do something crazy, and search for 'shell', or 'interactive' on CPAN - maybe someone's been through this before.. it may also reduce the probability that one day one of your users will type `innocent 'not_really; rm -rf ~/*'` and walk away whistling... seriously, though, read more; ask only when you can show you've put some effort into it...
