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.

Sure, any c getopt library accepts any command line source you give it, which may or may not be the one your program got. Likewise for Java.
I would have expected a perlish lib to accept an optional arrayref, and fall back on @ARGV if not supplied. (By which I mean, I understand perfectly well how to get around this when I need to, but I don't want to need to.)

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. For my own learning experience, would you mind contriving an example?
