Hi! I've today discussed the problem with an upstream developer. Where Nick's suggestion to use Getopt::Long for enabling the -f switch we were thinking about addressing the problem in a different way:
Getting rid of the -f switch at all and instead use $ENV{BLOSXOM_CONFIG_FILE}. This has the added benefit that hosting providers might allow their customers to use SetEnv in vhost/.htaccess configuration parts for having their own config files. It would break backward compatibility, so it would require some special notice for people who might use the switch currently - though I'm not too sure how common it's really used as it is a patch only we ship and which isn't available in upstream. Also I rather think people might have changed rather the config plugin than using this. If I don't receive any serious feedback within the next few days I'll upload a package that changes in that respect soonish.
