I use it like this ( checking program options ):
my $usage = "$0 -s <servdata> -u <userdata> -b <begtime> -e <endtime> -f
<params>\n";
my %opts;
getopts('b:e:s:u:f:', \%opts);
my $servdata = $opts{s};
my $userdata = $opts{u};
my $begtime = $opts{b};
my $endtime = $opts{e};
my $reqdata = $opts{f};
Cheers,
Ela
