in reply to Adding a dispatch table and getting "Variable $x will not stay shared" errors.

Not entirely on topic, but have you considered using one of the Getopt modules? It is usually the best way to go when dealing with command line flags. Personally, I recommend Getopt::Long.

There are sundry examples of Getopt::Long examples in The Monastery's archives. Supersearch if you need help. :)

And you didn't even know bears could type.
