before the monkeyBoys[tm] start screeching and
flapping their wings - that should have been

        perldoc Getopt::Std

I keep forgetting when we spend the $100 and
buy the vowel from vanna.

So that people do not get confused, while it
is true that most of the 'hairless apes' poking
at the keyboard providing cmdline arguments, the
TLA does not stand for 'sexually transmitted disease'
but stands for

        Shell Traumatized Data

since Getopt::Std will work just as well if your
programme is called by another programme in the form

        system("$that_prog @arlist);
