It seems a bit strange to be dependent on the ".rules" extension to determine if it's a file/ruleset. Isn't it possible to determine that it's a file when the argument of the option starts with "%rules-dir%", or "/", or whatever? Or maybe just a simple "[ -f <argument> ] && read-from-file" (obviously not in perl, but bash notation ;-)?
