in reply to More on Processing Command Line Arguments

If you're wanting to ensure they only use one option, it seems the easiest would be to only allow one option. For example: 
GetOptions(
           'request|r=s' =>\$Request,
           'man|m'     =>\$Manual,
           'help|h|?'  =>\$Help
          );

if ($Request =~ /^list$/i)
{
   # whatever
}
elsif ($Request =~ /^view$/i)
{
   # whatever
}
# and so  on

But I may be misunderstanding the issue. Not an uncommon event in my life.

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.

    What the script does is:

    1. Add a record to a database
    2. Edit a record from a database
    3. List the records in the database
    4. View a record from a database

    But you should only be able to do one option at a time. I would like to call that in the command line instead of having a menu system in the script itself.
