Subject: getoptlong question


This has been bugging me for weeks now, intermittently.

By all accounts I've read, this getoptlong code should work

require 'getoptlong'

opts = GetoptLong.new(
                         ["--devel","-d",GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT],
                         ["--getpass","-g",GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT],
                         ["--debug","-D",GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT],
                         ["--verbose","-V",GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT]
                   )

server = 'http://192.168.10.16/'
verbose = false
opts.each { |o,a| p o }
opts.each { |o,a|
         case o
                 when '--devel'
 			server = 'http://192.168.20.56/'
                 when '--getpass'
                         puts "this option does nothing"
                 when '--debug': $DEBUG = true
                 when '--verbose': verbose = true
         end
}
p server
p $DEBUG
p verbose

This is the output I expect when I run it:

"--devel"
"--debug"
"--verbose"
"http://192.168.20.56/"
true
true

This is the output I get:

"--devel"
"--debug"
"--verbose"
"http://192.168.10.16/"
false
false

What am I missing?
