Re: How can I have both short and long options with Getopt::Long?

use strict;
use warnings;

use Getopt::Long qw( :config posix_default bundling no_ignore_case );

GetOptions('verbose|v' => \my $opt_verbose)
    or die("usage\n");

print( $opt_verbose || 0, "\n");

The ones that should work:

>perl 806754.pl -v
1

>perl 806754.pl --verbose
1

The ones that shouldn't work:

>perl 806754.pl -verbose

`--v` still fails to fail (as requested, "if there are two dashes then only the full 'verbose' should be accepted") — as with the other variants already suggested.	[reply] [d/l]

Missed that. There's no way around it because Getopt::Long has no way of knowing "v" shouldn't be considered a full option name. Honestly, that shouldn't be an issue.	[reply]

>perl 806754.pl --v you code is working in above case (it's need to show error, but that is not happening here)	[reply]
