Getopt-OO version 0.04 ====================== $Id: README,v 1.4 2005/01/31 04:01:47 sjs Exp $ Getopt::OO - Perl object oriented version of command line parser that uses a perl hash as template to describe command line options. The module also alows the developer to associate basic help messages with the options so that the basic usage message and the definition of the command line parsing are tied together. The parser handles most common command line parsing. The goal of this parser is to provide enough functionality that all the command line parsing can be done by the parser. When the parser has completed its task, the various options and values from the command line are easily accessable to the programmer, and he knows the command line arguments were valid. As of version 0.05, I think we have all features. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module has no special dependencies. KNOWN PROBLEMS POD within this module is not backward compatible with PERL 5.004. Otherwise everything should work on all versions from 5.004 through 5.8.
