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.)

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).
