Re^3: Processing arguments with Getopt::Long

in reply to Re^2: Processing arguments with Getopt::Long
in thread Processing arguments with Getopt::Long

the program will exit with an error if option t exists but not option c

It shouldn't, and it doesn't for me.

>perl a.pl -t a
Option -t is value=a

>perl a.pl -c a
Option -c is value=a

>perl a.pl -t a -c a
Option -t is value=a
Option -c is value=a

>perl a.pl -c a -t a
Option -c is value=a
Option -t is value=a

If you're saying your program should exit, then yes, you have to add an check afterwards.

No, in my first example, the code is not setup to exit if c is not defined, because I wasn't sure how to do it. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that - just added the example as a change to the original example I posted. I see later post with examples to check, so I will check that out. Thanks for answering.
