(See either http://search.cpan.org/dist/Getopt-Long/ or https://metacpan.org/pod/Getopt::Long.) According to its CPAN sites, the place to file bug reports on Getopt::Long is https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=Getopt-Long. You can report this bug via the web interface at that site or via email to: bug-Getopt-Long@rt.cpan.org. Please do so, as this ticket at rt.perl.org will be closed with no action taken. > > That being said, a grep of the differences between versions 2.42 and 2.43 of Getopt-Long (http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Getopt-Long-2.42&to=Getopt-Long-2.43&w=1) shows that the error message you received was a new addition to version 2.43. My hunch is that the rationale for this addition was an earlier bug report, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=92462. However, you will have to contact Getopt-Long's maintainers to confirm that, and you can do that by filing a bug report via either method described in the previous paragraph. > > Thank you very much. <[Tux]> sciurius, heb je https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123875 gezien? <NL-PM> [ Bug #123875 for perl5: Getopt::Long pass_through <> error ] <sciurius> Nee.
