Perl Getopt::Long - Error in option spec

Asked by illuzian in Perl Programming Language, IBM AIX Unix

Tags: perl, getopt, getopt::long, options, scripting, script

I'm trying to run a script I wrote on a Linux Box on an AIX machine but it seems to error our, it works flawlessly on Linux and the syntaxt looks fine but when I run it on the aix box I get:

Error in option spec: "z|zcat|zip|compressed:s{2}"
Error in option spec: "t|text:s{2}"

Any help would be valued.

Cheers
