Dyer::CLI - useful subs for coding cli scripts
This standardizes some things like expecting that if the -v flag is used, that means they want version. That if they want -h, they want help. Etc.
This package must be used as base.
use base 'DYER::CLI';
prompt user for y/n confirmation will loop until it returs true or false argument is the question for the user
yn('continue?') or exit;
will force program to exit if user if whoami is not root.
returns array ref of argument variables treated as paths, they are resolved with Cwd::abs_path() Any arguments that do not resolve, are skipped with a warning. if no abs paths are present after checking, returns undef files are checked for existence returns undef if no @ARGVS or none of the args are on disk skips over files not on disk with warnings
Same as argv_aspaths(), but returns false if any of the file arguments are no longer on disk
Same as argv_aspaths(), but does not check for existence, only resolved to abs paths
returns name of script, just the name.
will print manual and exit.
returns hash of options uses Getopt::Std, forces v for version, h for help
To get standard with v and h:
my $o = gopts();
To add options
my $o = gopts('af:');
Adds a (bool) and f(value), v and h are still enforced.
