How can i use switches type arguments for subroutines in perl

i want to call subroutines in perl like:

Code:

      sub temp
      { ---- some code ----- }
      temp(-switchName, value1, --switchName2, value2)

Like i know getoptions::Long is there for command line switches type arguments. So i want to know for subroutine type arguments.
