Getopt::Long::Parser(3perl)                   Perl Programmers Reference Guide


NAME
       Getopt::Long::Parser - Getopt::Long object-oriented interface

SYNOPSIS
           use Getopt::Long::Parser;
           my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new;
           $p->configure( %options );
           if ( $p->getoptions( @options ) ) { ... }
           if ( $p->getoptionsfromarray( \@array, @options ) ) { ... }

       Configuration options can be passed to the constructor:

           my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new( config => [ %options ] );

DESCRIPTION
       "Getopt::Long::Parser" is an object-oriented interface to Getopt::Long.
       See its documentation for configuration and use.

       Note that "Getopt::Long" and "Getopt::Long::Parser" are not
       object-oriented.  "Getopt::Long::Parser" emulates an object-oriented
       interface, which should be okay for most purposes.

CONSTRUCTOR
           my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new( %options );

       The constructor takes an optional hash with parameters.

       config
           An array reference with configuration settings.  See "Configuring
           Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for all possible settings.

METHODS
       In the examples, $p is assumed to be the result of a call to the
       constructor.

   configure
           $p->configure( %settings );

       Update the current config settings.  See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in
       Getopt::Long for all possible settings.

   getoptionsfromarray
           my $res = $p->getoptionsfromarray( $aref, @opts );

   getoptions
           my $res = $p->getoptions( @opts );

       The same as "getoptionsfromarray( \@ARGV, @opts )".
