  • BSD and GNU versions do not require a space between -e/-f and the option argument
  • This version did not raise an error, but option arguments without a space resulted in incorrect behaviour
  • Remove -e and -f from getopts() option string because they are handled earlier
  • test1: perl grep -e0 -e 1 ar ---> patterns 0 and 1 in file ar
  • test2: grep -fwordlist.txt.old -f pat1 xargs ---> patterns from file wordlist.txt.old and pat1, searching against file xargs
