Sure, but is better to use a getopt approach, anyway ... the problem is not in Perl use by itself is that debhelper script are yes written in Perl, but heavily based on the Debian::Debhelper module that do a lot of jobs, including argument parsing. To access command line arguments you have not to work directly with perl functions that handle them, but you have to know the debhelper perl module and use hooks provided by it. I know perl, but I know nothing of the perl debhelper interface, but surely who have written dh_ocamlld can apply the changes you are thinking at with really few efforts (assuming that: (1) he knows the debhelper perl module, which sounds reasonable and (2) debhelper perl module supports them, which again sounds reasonable).
