Subj : Multi-word cmd line parameters

Hello All!

    How can one read multi-word command line parameters into Perl scripts?  I 
have no problem with single words, but multiple words don't come in even when 
it's quoted...

    I've been using Getopts::Std;  I looked at Getopts::Long, but although that 
allows multiple letter parameters names (like --filename) it doesn't seem to 
see multiple word parameters...

    One of the things I've been working on is creating message areas in a mysql 
database, & I was wanting to have it possible to define the description as a 
command line parameter;  but when I've tried that it only comes up with the 
first word of it even when it's quoted...



Regards,
Jame
