A test should also be added.

Roy, this looks like a side effect of your gnu getopt compatibility patch. Can you take a look?

I was going to request the addition of a message stating the failing combination isn't supported, but it seems to have been fixed. perl -E' use Getopt::Long qw( :config gnu_getopt ); say $Getopt::Long::VERSION; GetOptions(\my %opts, "c:20"); say $opts{c} // "[undef]" ' -- -c 2.52 20

In fact, the change long explicitly mentions this ticket, saying the issue was fixed in 2.49

I contributed the fix in a commit/patch several years ago (see https://github.com/sciurius/perl-Getopt-Long/commit/5d9947fb445327c7299d8beb009d609bc70066c0). As you say, it was merged into v2.49.
