You should check out the new getopt package that Perl5 comes with. That shows
how a good command line package could have been done. Of course the age old VMS
command line stuff is more advanced (and informal standards are adhered to:
it is very rare to have to worry about how to get out of a VMS program).

The command_line package is better than nothing, but the times are changing.
