The code I use is:

# parse command line arguments
#
while (@ARGV) {
     $arg = shift @ARGV;

     if ($arg eq '-d') {
	$debug = 1;
	print STDERR "Debug turned on...\n";
     } elsif ... <argument processing stuff>
     } else {
	push(@files, $arg);
     }
}

$directory = shift @files; # Module/directory is first arg

# For new-style commitinfo, read stdin for list of files
while (<STDIN>) {
   chop;			# Drop the newline
   push(@files, $_);
}

This works OK for me...  I've tried to make it backward compatible (so 
it parses the files off both the command line and the standard input)... 
not that I've ever tried it on an older version :)
