  • I noticed that if I provide "long" options to rm, it gets confused and attempts to remove files starting with a dash
  • When debugging this, preprocess_options() was incorrectly deciding to save long options into new_args list; call usage() instead because this rm only supports single letter options
%perl rm --this    # before patch
rm: cannot remove '-t': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '-h': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '-i': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '-s': No such file or directory
