No, Get should work under Win32 just fine.  Make sure the O is lower case
in Getopt::Std .

Here's a simple alternative that I often use for my quick scripts that
puts all the flags in %A:

use strict;
our %A;

BEGIN {         # get command line switches
        for (my $ii = 0; $ii < @ARGV; ) {
                last if $ARGV[$ii] =~ /^--$/;
                if ($ARGV[$ii] =~ /^-{1,2}(.*)$/) {
                        splice @ARGV, $ii, 1;   # remove arg
                        my $tmp = $1;
                        if ($tmp =~ /^([\w]+)=(.*)$/) {
                                $main::A{$1} = $2;
                        } else {
                                $main::A{$1}++;
                        }
                } else {
                        $ii++;
                }
        }
}

Then your commandline can be like:

perl myscript.pl -d -file=filename.ext -g="abc def.ext"

and %A will have:

        $A{d} = 1
        $A{file} = 'filename.ext';
        $A{g} = 'abd def.ext';
