I prefer to use indenting to make all the parens more clear. Also, this "unless not" syntax can be confusing.
I think I got this right, but it is easy to make a mistake. Consider:
# X is the "default action"
# do X with an exception that when A,B and C are all false
# then don't do X
unless (!A and !B and !C) {X}
# if anybody is true then they all can't be false
# so we do X unless anybody is true (meaning they
# can't all be false)
unless (A or B or C) {X}
-------
unless ( (!($args =~ /\-rs(\s+)(\S+)/)) &&
(!($args =~ /\-p(\s+)(\S+)/)) &&
(!($args =~ /\-P(\s+)(\S+)/)) )
{.....
# I figure this is easier to understand:
unless ( $args =~ /\-rs(\s+)(\S+)/ or
$args =~ /\-p(\s+)(\S+)/ or
$args =~ /\-P(\s+)(\S+)/ )
{....

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).
