If you don't want to terminate script execution, then you have to use an infinite loop:-
So the script will run until user select option 4. You can Google for examples of shell script menu driven programs.

Ok, don't ask me why, but all calls to perl must be called by a shell script. Its really not ideal, but its what I have to work with.

getopt
GETOPT(3) 1 GETOPT(3)getopt - Gets options from the command line argument listSYNOPSIS
array getopt (string $options, [array $longopts])
DESCRIPTION
Parses options passed to the script.
PARAMETERS
o $options
- Each character in this string will be used as option characters and matched against options passed to the script starting with a
single hyphen ( -). For example, an option string "x" recognizes an option -x. Only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 are allowed.
o $longopts
- An array of options. Each element in this array will be used as option strings and matched against options passed to the script
starting with two hyphens ( --). For example, an longopts element "opt" recognizes an option --opt.
The $options parameter may contain the following elements:
oIndividual characters (do not accept values)
oCharacters followed by a colon (parameter requires value)
oCharacters followed by two colons (optional value)
Option values are the first argument after the string. If a value is required, it does not matter whether the value has leading white
space or not. See note.
Note
Optional values do not accept " " (space) as a separator.
Note
The format for the $options and $longopts is almost the same, the only difference is that $longopts takes an array of options
(where each element is the option) whereas $options takes a string (where each character is the option).
RETURN VALUES
This function will return an array of option / argument pairs or FALSE on failure.
Note
The parsing of options will end at the first non-option found, anything that follows is discarded.

}
Example #2
getopt(3) example: Introducing long options
<?php
// Script example.php
$shortopts = "";
$shortopts .= "f:"; // Required value

$shortopts .= "abc"; // These options do not accept values
$longopts = array(
"required:", // Required value
"optional::", // Optional value
"option", // No value
"opt", // No value
);
$options = getopt($shortopts, $longopts);
var_dump($options);
?>
