getopt
getopt ('switches'[, \%opts])
switches is a string of the
command-line options that take arguments. For each option,
getopt sets $opt_ x (in
which x is the switch) to the value
entered as an argument. If \%
optsis specified, it is a reference to
a hash in which getopt sets the
key to the name of the switch and the value to the argument (and
the $opt_ variables are not
set).
