in reply to Command Line Options without "-" or "- -"

Ok..... Sorry!!! I got it working by doing this:
while (<@ARGV>) {
    my $arg = shift @ARGV;
    @options = split(/: /,$arg);
    print "XXXXXXXX\t", $options[$_], "\tXXXXXXXX";
}

But it still does not help me with the ": " being in the data sometimes.

Thanks.

    If you have a space after the token, and your value is in quotes, the shell should separate them and put each one in a different item of ARGV.... it looks like you have that space, but I could be wrong.

    Regardless, split takes an optional third argument which limits how many array items are returned. So put a 2 at the end of your split.
