(4) Use Getopt::Long, which is my vote for a winning solution.

    -s is obviously weird and somewhat broken, and I'm not sure how
    good of a method it is for receiving values.  I think that you
    would be wise to switch to Getopt::Long, a standard module that
    handles input options with a huge amount of flexibility, and
    without this sort of breakage.

Using Getopt::Long, you still have to declare the variable you send, like :

GetOptions("q" => \$q);

So, with  "use strict"  you still have to do something like :
my $q;

beforehand.

BTW: I still like and use this solution the most.
