Hi, Darren,
I have looked at inside mknmz and it calls Getopt::Long.
The calling sequence does not follow the shape for multiple
values (as attached). And I don't think we need this. If this is
allowed the semantics of joining the strings may become confusing :-)

Darren> --update parameter is for?
I did notice the --update and intentionally removed that option.
Sorry not refering the term.
--update is just a convenient-type-option and not MUST word.
If you say --update=existing_index, it will pickup current-directory
and all the arguments used at previous run.
You may look inside NML.status file what will be reflected at this
mechanism.
Saying both --update=A and --output-dir=A may be redundunt or even harmful.

Options with multiple values
Options sometimes take several values. For example, a pro-
gram could use multiple directories to search for library
files:
--library lib/stdlib --library lib/extlib
To accomplish this behaviour, simply specify an array ref-
erence as the destination for the option:
my @libfiles = ();
GetOptions ("library=s" => \(_at_)libfiles);
