i am fine with any GetOpt as long as it solves my problem. this is the
problem i have been having.
script usage is:
script.pl -checkflag -option1 value1 -option2 value2
now my problem is i need to check only '-checkflag' flag. rest would be
parsed in second run.
now if the first run i parse it something like
&GetOptions('checkflag' => \$check_flag);
if ($checkflag)
{
do somethign here.....
}
but perl throws an error,
Unknow argument option1
Unknow argument option2
how do i get rid of them, or any other solution?
thanks!
