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

I actually doubt it would be that easy to do with Getopt::Declare. The reason is that the actions are done in the caller's namespace - and G::D is not going to know which namespace is which. Worse, it looks like these actions will affect only package variables. They aren't proper closures, and I need closures to affect the proper private variables. I'm sure it could still be faked somehow, but it would not be the straight-forward method you may think it is.

Besides, once you have a wrapper, it really doesn't matter which one it wraps, as long as the caller(s) don't need to change. ;-)

(Also, it's imperative for my app, anyway, that all parms are parsed in a certain order, irrespective of the order on the commandline, which is also contrary to G::D's method. So my wrapper just gets G::L to parse the whole thing, and then we validate in order.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
