in reply to Parsing command line

That's not an issue with GetOpt::Long. The fact that you are getting 'argument with the single quote prepended means it was not interpretered by your shell. Let me go out on a limb and assume you're using a Microsoft OS. In that case you're using either COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE which, besides being braindead, assume double rather than single quotes.

      Well, so much for that. It's still a shell issue though, not one of Perl. What shell are you using? And have you tried with double quotes?

        I tried double quotes, and it's still the same.

        BTW, I'm using bash shell.
