As the author of Getopt::Long always says, options are optional, or they wouldn't be options. So the "they may or may not be present" isn't anything special. In fact, it's the bread and butter of Getopt::Long - it only deals with things that may or may not be present.
If you make the call syntax like:
findfiles --input data modem apps --nd --na --nc --des "..." -r 1000
Something like:
GetOptions 'input=s{0,}' => \my @input,
'na' => \my $na,
'nd' => \my $nd,
'nc' => \my $nc,
'des=s' => \my $des,
'r=i' => \my $r;
Should do the trick.

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).
