( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hello dear esteemed monks,

While Getopt::Long is a great module, I started noticing it lacks some features, like help generation or ability to stop processing arguments on first non-option. So I looked at cpan search for "getopt" at https://metacpan.org/search?q=getopt and I'm overwhelmed by the number of modules that are already there.

What I would like to get is (apart from just "processing the command line the way Getop::Long does"):

1. Generating help on the fly (Getopt::Helpful does that but seems unmaintaned);

2. Object-oriented interface via instantiation and accessors/mutators, not inheritance:

my $cli = Getopt::Something->new( "Usage: $0 [options] <file> ...", [ "x|expect=s", \@except, "<pattern> Add an exception" ], ... ); $cli->stop_on_argument( 1|0 ); $cli->run(); # or $cli->run( \@array ); if not @ARGV

3. I would love to add any other features I find missing.

So what are the latest and greatest members of Getopt:: Family? Thank you.

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
