Getopt...Parser(3perl)  Perl Programmers Reference Guide Getopt...Parser(3perl)

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

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

       Configuration options can be passed to the constructor:

           my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new
                    config => [...configuration 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
           $res = $p->getoptionsfromarray( $aref, @opts );

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

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