The perldoc nowhere says explicitly what GetOptions and GetOptionsFromArray do with non-option arguments. It is stated for GetOptionsFromString, and it is mentioned in passing in 'Mixing command line option with other arguments': but there is not an explicit statement. This is particularly important for GetOptionsFromArray, because it is not obvious that the supplied array will be changed.
