NAME
   Getopt::Long::Less - Like Getopt::Long, but with less features

VERSION
   This document describes version 0.090 of Getopt::Long::Less (from Perl
   distribution Getopt-Long-Less), released on 2019-02-02.

DESCRIPTION
   This module is a reimplementation of Getopt::Long, with less
   features/configurability. Only the subset which I'm currently using
   (which I think already serves a lot of common use cases for a lot of
   people too) is implemented.

   Only three functions are implemented: GetOptions, GetOptionsFromArray,
   and Configure.

   No configuring from "use" statement. No OO interface.

   Much much less modes/configuration. No support for POSIXLY_CORRECT. We
   always do bundling (*this is not Getopt::Long's default*), we never
   ignore case (*this is not Getopt::Long's default*), we always permute,
   we always autoabbreviate, we always do GNU compatibility (allow
   "--opt=VAL" in addition to "--opt VAL" including allowing "--opt="), we
   never do getopt_compat. Basically currently there's no mode you can
   configure (although pass_through might be added in the future).

   No autoversion, no autohelp. No support to configure prefix pattern.

   No support for GetOptions' "hash storage mode" (where the first argument
   is a hashref) nor "classic mode" (where destination is not explicitly
   specified). Basically, the arguments need to be pairs of option
   specifications and destinations.

   Currently no support for arrayref destination (e.g. ""foo=s" => \@ary").
   No support for array desttype ("'foo=s@' => ...").

   Also, this module requires 5.010.

   So what's good about this module? Slightly less compile time overhead,
   due to less code. This should not matter for most people. I just like
   squeezing out milliseconds from startup overhead of my CLI scripts.
   That's it :-)
