NAME
Getopt::Abridged - quick and simple full-featured option handling
SYNOPSIS
sub main {
my @args = @_;
my $opt = Getopt::Abridged->new(
'w|world=s=world',
'g|greeting=s=hello',
'v|verbose=1',
'q|quiet=!verbose',
-positional => ['world'],
)->process(\@args) or return;
print $opt->greeting, ' ', $opt->world, "\n" if($opt->verbose);
}
main(@ARGV) if($0 eq __FILE__);
About
This module is provided as a shortcut for using Getopt::Base and to support easily transitioning into Getopt::AsDocumented.
new
my $opt = Getopt::Abridged->new(@opts, @args);
import
This translates your options into pod for use with Getopt::AsDocumented.
Getopt::Abridged->import('pod');
unimport
Getopt::Abridged->unimport;
print_pod
This is activated via import and the call to process(). If your application is written to return/exit when process() returns false, you may simply do:
perl -MGetopt::Abridged=pod -S your_program
You will then want to see Getopt::AsDocumented and change your process() call to:
Getopt::AsDocumented->process(\@args) or return;
The builtin --version and --help options will be automatically included in the pod output.
TODO =for positional
directives need to be printed from here.
