I can't see any POSIX on that... Where do you see that?

Thanks for that convenient link.

(Emphasis mine.)

Also on that page, under the heading "Utility Syntax Guidelines":

Guideline 9:

All options should precede operands on the command line.

"Should" and "guidelines" may not be the strongest of words, but the intent seems clear enough for me.

print "Just another Perl ${\(trickster and hacker)},"
The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
