Getopt:Long arguments that are not (options or option values)

[nahum_barnea]

Hi Group.
I use Perl "use Getopt::Long;" .
Now, I know how to get command line options and their values.
But I want to get into a Perl array all the command line arguments
that are NOT options and NOT values.

For example:

../myscript.pl -f option_val_of_f -g option_val_of_g arg1 arg2 arg3

I would like to get a Perl array with arg1,arg2,arg3 .

Do you know how to do such stuff?

Thanks,
NAHUM

Look at @ARGV.

Just check @ARGV after you call GetOptions(). Calling GetOptions()
will cause the options (and their values) to be removed from the @ARGV
array, leaving only the non-option-arguments behind.

So then, @ARGV has exactly what you're looking for (but only AFTER
you call GetOptions()).

I hope this helps, Nahum.

Read the documentation for the module and look for the 'pass_through'
configuration option.
