NAME

Pod::Usage::CommandLine - Add some common command line options from Pod::Usage

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::Usage::CommandLine;

BEGIN { our $VERSION = '1.0'; }    # NOTE: Set main version in BEGIN block

# then, use command line options:

my_program.pl --version
my_program.pl --help
my_program.pl -h
my_program.pl '-?'
my_program.pl --man
my_program.pl -m

DESCRIPTION

Basically a cut/paste from the boilerplate described in Pod::Usage and Getopt::Long so it can be included with a single "use" instead of cut/pasting it.

See Getopt::Long for all the intricacies of specifying options.

Set $VERSION in a BEGIN block as shown above so it will get picked up by the '--version' option.
