If you want an answer that like a one-liner is short, dirty, simple, and to the point: if you want things clean and maintainable don't write them as one-liners.
There is Getopt::Long if you want a clean, maintainable options mechanism. You can, although it's generally not very advisable, roll your own complex @ARGV handling. You could write some quite simple @ARGV handling, but the -s switch does that much for you. So use -s where you want very simple argument handling for a quick and dirty solution like a one-liner, and use a well-understood and widely used option handling mechanism like Getopt::Long when you are writing something to be reused and maintained.

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).
