The easiest way to get around precedence-issues is to define precedence yourself by using (a lot of) brackets.
So
unless (! $args =~ /\-rs(\s+)(\S+)/ && ! $args =~ /\-p(\s+)(\S+)/ && !
+ $args =~ /\-P(\s+)(\S+)/) {
will become
unless ((!($args =~ /\-rs(\s+)(\S+)/)) && (!($args =~ /\-p(\s+)(\S+)/)
+) && (!($args =~ /\-P(\s+)(\S+)/))) {
I agree it looks a bit confusing, but modern editors help you by showing the matching bracket.
And you don't have to think about rules (which might be counter-intuitive (like ! vs =~)
or different in other programming languages).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
