=head1 NAME
Getopt::Long::Parser - Getopt::Long object-oriented interface
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Getopt::Long::Parser;
my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new;
$p->configure( %options );
if ( $p->getoptions( @options ) ) { ... }
if ( $p->getoptionsfromarray( \@array, @options ) ) { ... }
Configuration options can be passed to the constructor:
my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new( config => [ %options ] );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Getopt::Long::Parser> is an object-oriented interface to
L<Getopt::Long>. See its documentation for configuration and use.
Note that C<Getopt::Long> and C<Getopt::Long::Parser> are not
object-oriented.
C<Getopt::Long::Parser> emulates an object-oriented interface,
which should be okay for most purposes.
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new( %options );
The constructor takes an optional hash with parameters.
=over 4
=item config
An array reference with configuration settings.
See L<Getopt::Long/"Configuring Getopt::Long"> for all possible settings.

# Getopt::Long has a stub for Getopt::Long::Parser::new.
use Getopt::Long ();
no warnings 'redefine';
sub new {
my $that = shift;
my $class = ref($that) || $that;
my %atts = @_;
# Register the callers package.
my $self = { caller_pkg => (caller)[0] };
bless ($self, $class);
my $default_config = Getopt::Long::_default_config();
# Process config attributes.
if ( defined $atts{config} ) {
my $save = Getopt::Long::Configure ($default_config, @{$atts{config}});
$self->{settings} = Getopt::Long::Configure ($save);
delete ($atts{config});
}
# Else use default config.
else {
$self->{settings} = $default_config;
}
if ( %atts ) { # Oops
die(__PACKAGE__.": unhandled attributes: ".
join(" ", sort(keys(%atts)))."\n");
}
$self;
}
use warnings 'redefine';
=head1 METHODS
In the examples, C<$p> is assumed to be the result of a call to the constructor.
=head2 configure
$p->configure( %settings );
Update the current config settings.
See L<Getopt::Long/"Configuring Getopt::Long"> for all possible settings.
=cut
sub configure {
my ($self) = shift;
# Restore settings, merge new settings in.
my $save = Getopt::Long::Configure ($self->{settings}, @_);
# Restore orig config and save the new config.
$self->{settings} = Getopt::Long::Configure ($save);
}
=head2 getoptionsfromarray
my $res = $p->getoptionsfromarray( $aref, @opts );
=head2 getoptions
my $res = $p->getoptions( @opts );
The same as C<getoptionsfromarray( \@ARGV, @opts )>.
=cut
sub getoptions {
my ($self) = shift;
return $self->getoptionsfromarray(\@ARGV, @_);
}
sub getoptionsfromarray {
my ($self) = shift;
# Restore config settings.
my $save = Getopt::Long::Configure ($self->{settings});
# Call main routine.
my $ret = 0;
$Getopt::Long::caller = $self->{caller_pkg};
eval {
# Locally set exception handler to default, otherwise it will
# be called implicitly here, and again explicitly when we try
# to deliver the messages.
local ($SIG{__DIE__}) = 'DEFAULT';
$ret = Getopt::Long::GetOptionsFromArray (@_);
};
# Restore saved settings.
Getopt::Long::Configure ($save);
# Handle errors and return value.
die ($@) if $@;
return $ret;
