Greetings,
1. There are two directions for this: I. By default the action will be performed, unless you add an argument (--dry-run for example.) II. By default the action will not be performed, unless you add an argument (--commit for example.)
If you run a script called DestroyTheDatabase, you would expect the default action to be complete and utter deletion. I think a dry-run flag would make sense for this type of script. The problem is those scripts whose name is not indicative of DB modifications. I suspect you are thinking about checkNonIndexedBiblios.pl which only runs if you include -c, much like point 1 subsection II. The name doesn't suggest default modifications. In this case, you have to add the -z which will then insert the non-indexed Biblios into the zebra queue. This is like the second method. Can we have a mix? Does a mix make any sense?
This kind of reminds me of the help for scripts issues I was wondering about. I see a script name, other than reading the code, how do I get a sample use page? Do we force help on users if no parameters are passed? Do we expect a particular letter or phrase? --help -h --usage --examples --something-else? checkNonIndexedBiblios.pl does it both ways.
2. What do we want to call the options, whichever way is picked? I. Keeping in mind that some things (-c for example) can conflict with other conventions.
Are there different conventions to choose from? How does Debian (Ubuntu, etc.) do it?
3. Are there any other conventions we should deal with at the same time?
None of which I am aware.
[SNIP] +1 on the turning off auto-commit, so dry runs do the same as actual runs. +1 on the explicit rollback or commit.
$dbi->begin_work;
Actually, I guess that is a nicer way of doing this?
# Start transaction $dbh->{AutoCommit} = 0; $dbh->{RaiseError} = 1;
GPML, Mark Tompsett

Do we force help on users if no parameters are passed?
As a non-expert in command line things, this is what I would expect. At the very least a brief help, with the suggestion that passing --help would give more.

I'm calling for a dev meeting next week, dedicated to DBIC discussions.
We'll have DBIC's Peter Rabbitson on the IRC channel to hear his POV too. He can attend 15:00 UTC only though.
I'll be happy to have all positions explicitly stated, and discussed. If we can make a decision, that's bonus points.
Please send me your POV so I can put that on the wiki to sumarize what we already discussed. Otherwise, i'll do my best to be impartial.
