NAME
Getopt::Long::Modern - Use Getopt::Long with modern defaults
SYNOPSIS
use Getopt::Long::Modern;
GetOptions(
"f|foo=i" => \my $foo,
"b|bar" => \my $bar,
"Z|baz=s" => \my @baz,
);
DESCRIPTION
Getopt::Long::Modern is a simple wrapper of Getopt::Long to reduce the
amount of typing needed to get modern defaults, and to avoid having to
remember the correct incantations. See "Summary of Option
Specifications" in Getopt::Long for details on specifying options using
Getopt::Long.
Only the GetOptions function from Getopt::Long is exported. Additional
Getopt::Long configuration may be passed as import parameters.
use Getopt::Long::Modern qw(auto_help auto_version pass_through);
For any more advanced usage, you should probably use Getopt::Long
directly.
DEFAULTS
Getopt::Long::Modern currently sets the following configuration options
by default. See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for more
details on available configuration.
gnu_getopt
This sets gnu_compat to allow --opt= for setting an empty string
option, bundling to allow short options to be bundled together, permute
to allow specifying options before or after other arguments, and
no_getopt_compat to disallow + for specifying options.
no_auto_abbrev
This disables the functionality that automatically allows abbreviated
versions of any option, because no one is ever going to specify --foo
as --fo, and it is not useful when you have multiple options that
abbreviate to the same single-letter option. When it is desired to have
a single-letter short option versions available, this can be specified
explicitly with the normal | syntax.
no_ignore_case
This makes all options case-sensitive, which is expected and required
when explicitly specifying short options of the same character but
different case.
