The "getopts()" function processes single-character switches with switch clustering. Pass one argument which is a string containing all switches to be recognized. For each switch found, if an argument is expected and provided, "getopts()" sets $opt_x...

Getopt::Std is nice but it could be even easier to use. This is how I would like Getopt::Std to behave. Two main concepts are strengthened here, on top of Getopt::Std. 1) Variables are created even under use strict 2) Your option specs are passed at ...

Getopt::Std::WithCheck provides a simple way to proccess command line arguments check. Also, basic "usage" functionality provided....

This patch can be used to extract Getopt::Std options specification from a script by running the script but exiting early after getting the specification....

This program enables CGI and command line inputs. It uses CGI and Getopt::Std modules....

Perl puts the command line parameters in the array @ARGV allowing the user to examine and manipulate it like any other array. There is a long tradition of putting optional single character flags (preceded by a dash) in front of other parameters like ...

Parses an array and gives it a CGI-like param interface to the data. You can then have apps that have a cgi interface and a cli interface that just call param() to get its stuff. Examples: Opt: --force=1 URI Equiv: force=1 Opt: --force= URI Equiv: fo...

This module is obsolete. This package was my response to the standard modules Getopt::Std and Getopt::Long. Std doesn't support long options, and Long didn't support short options. I wanted both, since long options are easier to remember and short op...

The goal of this module is providing good code readability and clarity of intent for command-line option processing. While readability is a subjective standard, Getopt::Lucid relies on a more verbose, plain-English option specification as compared ag...

This module is for rapid development of programs that can equally well present a simple GUI interface or present a command-line interface. It is the 80/20 attempt (i.e., 80% of the solution, gotten with just 20% of complexity that a full solution wou...

The Getopt::Casual module simplifies the manipulation of command line arguments in what should be a familiar way to most UNIX command line utility users. The following basic rules explain the assumptions that the "&casual()" makes for either "&import...

Getopt::Euclid uses your program's own POD documentation to create a powerful command-line argument parser. This ensures that your program's documented interface and its actual interface always agree. The created command-line argument parser includes...

Other command-line options processing modules (like Getopt::Std) parse command-line arguments (from @ARGV) and set either variables or hash entries based on them. This module, however, parses command-line arguments into constants which are put into t...

Getopt::Whatever parses whatever command line options that it can find in @ARGV and places them into %ARGV. The parsing only supports long options (double-dashed), but might eventually also support short-form options. After parsing, anything that was...

Like Getopt::Param but using a simple hash based object instead of Class::Std, no localization for single error message, and only supplying the single, flexible, param() method....

There are many and many "Getopt::*" modules on CPAN. Is this module yet another option parsing module? NO. This module is NOT to be another option parsing module but to be a companion of the modules. The "Getopt::*" modules try to solve developers' p...
