getopt - won't allow an option to have param, or NOT have param

perldoc documentation
I'm pretty new to this list, but I've seen some fairly basic questions that could be answered by using the documentation that comes with Perl - it's called "perldoc"s. For example, doing "perldoc perl" displays this: PERL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation...
