I just found the pearl of:

use Getopt::Std;
[download]

and I am using it effectively within my code, however I am having some issues trying to find the best way to have the script echo a help menu when no flags are specified. Currently, I am using:

getopts("n:f:hc",\%option);

if (!$option{n} && !$option{f}) {
  help();
  exit;
}

sub help {
print<<EOF

Usage: dnsmod [ -h ] [ -n ] [ -f ]
  -n <domain>
  -f <corp || client >
  -h print this help page

EOF
}
[download]

This works, however as I add more flag options to my script, this could become very tedious and could cause problems if someone other than myself plans to add some flags of their own. Is it possible to use $#ARGV or some other built in to measure whether or not flags were specified such that my test loop would not have to be updated with every new feature stuck in future revisions of the code?
