Good day all I am still pretty new to perl and just really starting to get my feet wet, so I was wondering how I would correctly write a script to look for command line options to run a certain sub routine.
What I would like to be able to do is write a script that can be very interactive with the user. I would like to have the script print out a question and then depending on the answer the user gives run a certain part of the script.
print "What file do you want to edit?\n";
$file = <STDIN>;
chomp($file);
Here we would do some sort of test I guess to ensure what part of the code would be ran. This is the part I guess I am most unsure about. Any advice you may offer here would be great.

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).

are good places to start.
