Subject: "no_getopt_compat" does not work
From the documentation to Getopt::Long (v 2.34): getopt_compat Allow "+" to start options. Default is enabled unless environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case "getopt_compat" is disabled. However, neither using "no_getopt_compat" nor setting the environment variable to a true value seems to work; GetOptions() still considers arguments beginning with a plus sign as options: $ perl -MGetopt::Long -MGetopt::Long -le 'print Getopt::Long->VERSION; Getopt::Long::Configure "no_getopt_compat"; $ENV{POSIXLY_CORRECT} = 1; GetOptions foo=>\$bar; print "@ARGV"' +test one two three 2.34 Unknown option: test one two three I've tested it with Perl 5.6.0 and 5.8.5. Regards, fany

Configure "no_getopt_compat" has no effect, you can only enable it. (Maybe I should give a warning.) For POSIXLY_CORRECT to be taken into account, it must be set _before_ Getopt::Long is loaded. For example: $ env POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 perl -MGetopt::Long -le \ 'print Getopt::Long->VERSION; GetOptions foo=>$bar; print "@ARGV"' \ +test one two three 2.32 +test one two three -- Johan

Use Getopt::Long::Configure "posix_default"; or use Getopt::Long qw(:config posix_default); Alternatively, explicitly manipulation of prefix_pattern would be a good option. Happy hacking! -- Johan
