I think Getopt::Long might be able to help:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Getopt::Long;

my $args = 'data=company.com -iR 12345 -iL mylink -iF 2d';
@ARGV = split /\s+/, $args;
my %opt;
GetOptions(\%opt, 'iR=i', 'iL=s', 'iF=s');
print 'opt hash ', Dumper(\%opt);
print 'ARGV ', Dumper(\@ARGV);

__END__

opt hash $VAR1 = {
          'iR' => 12345,
          'iL' => 'mylink',
          'iF' => '2d'
        };
ARGV $VAR1 = [
          'data=company.com'
        ];
