anyway, I cannot do it. We have special team. And if I say now that GetOptions doesn't work, I don't think they will be happy

Please post a short but complete test script that demonstrates the problem so that I can try and duplicate this issue.

Execute the test script that I posted earlier. If that has the same problem you're seeing in your script, then that would indicate that there is a bug in that older module and should be upgraded.

No, the result is OK. I will try to make short copy of the script and send you. But you have to make if as menu

I tried to do it like you suggest, but it is not working anyway. It may be Perl issue, old version. But the new version nobody will load in the company now

Re: [digioleg54] I am loosing value of my argument [In reply to]	Can't Post

I've looked over your tests scripts and it's clear that you don't understand the concept of a self contained test script that others can run. They both are using multiple custom modules which no-one else has access to so they can't test the scripts. They are also filled with unnecessary code, questionable to very poor code formatting and overall is poorly designed.

Regarding the value of the "queue", you didn't apply the correction that I told you it needed and that is why you still have the problem with that hash value.

Saying "it is not working anyway" is a very poor problem description and doesn't give any info on how it's failing. The code corrections I made in the test scripts I posted work correctly. I have no idea what changes you made to your code so I can't say why your code doesn't work.

I copied and paste your code

Which version, the one in post #11 or post #18?

The code in post 18 is what you should test. If that fails, then the root problem is a bug in the old module and if that's the case, it should be upgraded.

Did you write this app or was it written by someone else and you've been contracted to update it?

Did you supply the number arg to queue?

Did you pop @ARGV prior to executing the GetOptions() statement?

If you add an additional option after the queue, is that option and its value in the hash or is it missing?

I see the problem, but I can't work on it now. At 10 Am boss will come to test the program. I will explain him and if he let me change, I will. Otherwise , sorry. I am just consulting.
The problem is that in menu program owner commented two elements, but in GetOptions - not, and queue getting to different place.
If the boss want to spend more money, I can change it. Otherwise today is my last day.

I let you know the result

If the Getoptions() function is being used to parse the args, the ordering of the options won't matter but if shift/pop is being used to manually parse the args, then the order will make a big difference and is one of the reasons I said that using that approach is a bad idea.

Are you referring to the menu prompt for the user to supply the value for that option?

After I supply values, it goes to program and didn't print queue number even I make pop for it, then go to GetOptions and show the error, which I mention

Your wording in that sentence is a little confusing, but if you use pop before calling GetOptions(), then obviously the value for the last option (presumably the queue option) would be stripped out of the @ARGV array and cause the error message to be generated.

I don't use pop in GetOptions. I receive the message, that I copied from your #18. Pop I use in another place and it also doesn't find queue value.

What about the question I asked earlier:

If you add an additional option after the queue, is that option and its value in the hash or is it missing?
