in thread How to use getopt and $#argv together?

That's because you pass in the opt variable, but don't define any options to search for.

325$ perl -MGetopt::Std -E'getopt(\%opts); say "@ARGV";' -- -f a -d b 
+-r -v
a -d b -r -v

326$ perl -MGetopt::Std -E'getopt("fdrv",\%opts); say "@ARGV";' -- -f 
+a -d b >

327$

    No, specifying the options doesn't change anything. 

    $ perl -MGetopt::Std -E'
   getopt("fdrv",\%opts);
   say 1+$#ARGV;
   say "@ARGV";
' -- -f a b c d
3
b c d

    The only thing you showed is that removing the arguments produces an empty @ARGV.
