But Getopt::Std is supposed to behave like traditional UNIX command lines,
where opts are *not* processed
eg Solaris (traditional):
$ touch x -l

Linux (GNU):
$ touch x -l
touch: invalid option -- l
Try `touch --help' for more information.

I would be annoyed if my code suddenly started changing how it handled its
cmd-line args, just because I had upgraded Perl.
