NAME

Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder - Build a Getopt::Long option spec from a set of attributes

VERSION

version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

This module builds a Getopt::Long option specification from a hash of option parameters as would be returned by Getopt::Long::Spec::Parser->parse($spec) and/or Getopt::Nearly::Everything->opt($opt_name)->attrs().

Here's an example of use:

            

              
              
use Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder;
my %opt_attrs = (
    opt_type       => 'simple'
    value_required => 1,
    value_type     => 'string',
    max_vals       => '5',
    dest_type      => 'array',
    min_vals       => '1',
    short          => [ 'f' ],
    long           => 'foo',
);
my $builder   = Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder->new();
my $spec      = $builder->build( %opt_attrs );
print $spec;  # output: 'foo|f=s@{1,5}'
# OR...
my $spec =
    Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder->build( %opt_attrs );
