I guess the path I'm taking will work. I just assumed that someone had been down this path before and had come up with a comprehensive way of handling options in a multi-purpose script. I definitely agree that the script should not require that options be given in a specific order. Thanks for the nit-picks! I plan to add a --help option or use auto_help built in to the module. The POD needs work, that's for certain. Hah! The description was nabbed straight from the Getopt::Long docs. I'll change it. Um, I forgot about mkdir and chmod builtins. The ls function is necessary, but the die is not. Since I'm using automount, the filesystem isn't mounted until the path is read. I suppose I could mount the filesystem to a temp location, but that seems like more work, more lines of code, more cleanup. The get_line sub and the remove_line subs are not currently being used. I should have removed them before posting.
