command-line options

Hello I have a version of cron I've written in perl
and am intersted in insuring cross-platofrm functionality.
I use Geopt::std to get many options, but there does not seem
to be any way to provide command-line options to perl
scripts with MacPerl.

I was expecting MacPerl (coming form Linux and Windoze)
to brovide a rudimentary CLI to allow this, or perhaps
(and this is what I'd like to propose):

MacPerl is smart and sees if there is a -s on the command line
it prompts with an input bux for options.

Getopt::Std and Getopt::Long are modified to either produce the
input field as above, or be a bit smarter and use some of that
wacky Apple stuff to present appropriate input widgets (checkbox,
input field) for each option.
