SYNOPSIS

package App;

    traits    => [ 'Getopt' ],     
    is        => 'ro',
    isa       => 'Str',
    default   => 'file.dat',

    # tells MooseX::Getopt to use --somedata as the 
    # command line flag instead of the normal 
    # autogenerated one (--data)
    cmd_flag  => 'somedata',

    # tells MooseX::Getopt to also allow --moosedata,
    # -m, and -d as aliases for this same option on
    # the commandline.
    cmd_aliases => [qw/ moosedata m d /],

    # Or, you can use a plain scalar for a single alias:
    cmd_aliases => 'm',
);

DESCRIPTION

This is a custom attribute metaclass trait which can be used to specify a the specific command line flag to use instead of the default one which MooseX::Getopt will create for you.

METHODS

These methods are of little use to most users, they are used interally within MooseX::Getopt.

cmd_flag

Changes the commandline flag to be this value, instead of the default, which is the same as the attribute name.

cmd_aliases

Adds more aliases for this commandline flag, useful for short options and such.
