You should check the return code of GetOptions() and abort on invalid
options.

GetOptions() deletes the recognized options from @ARGV, so you can say
$ARGV[0] as before (and maybe check if there aren't any superfluous
arguments).

I know you didn't add this, but while at it, could you replace the
pipeline with just `modinfo -F filename $module`?

Here and in the changelog you talk about "module directory name", but in
fact this is the module filename.
