=head1 NAME
=head1 Getting Started with Getopt::Long
-Getopt::Long is the Perl5 successor of C<newgetopt.pl>. This was
-the first Perl module that provided support for handling the new style
-of command line options, hence the name Getopt::Long. This module
-also supports single-character options and bundling. In this case, the
-options are restricted to alphabetic characters only, and the
-characters C<?> and C<->.
+Getopt::Long is the Perl5 successor of C<newgetopt.pl>. This was the
+first Perl module that provided support for handling the new style of
+command line options, hence the name Getopt::Long. This module also
+supports single-character options and bundling. Single character
+options may be any alphabetic character, a question mark, and a dash.
+Long options may consist of a series of letters, digits, and dashes.
+Although this is currently not enforced by Getopt::Long, multiple
+consecutive dashes are not allowed, and the option name must not end
+with a dash.
To use Getopt::Long from a Perl program, you must include the
following line in your Perl program:
To accomplish this behaviour, simply specify an array reference as the
destination for the option:
- my @libfiles = ();
GetOptions ("library=s" => \@libfiles);
-Used with the example above, C<@libfiles> would contain two strings
-upon completion: C<"lib/srdlib"> and C<"lib/extlib">, in that order.
-It is also possible to specify that only integer or floating point
-numbers are acceptible values.
+Alternatively, you can specify that the option can have multiple
+values by adding a "@", and pass a scalar reference as the
+destination:
+
+ GetOptions ("library=s@" => \$libfiles);
+
+Used with the example above, C<@libfiles> (or C<@$libfiles>) would
+contain two strings upon completion: C<"lib/srdlib"> and
+C<"lib/extlib">, in that order. It is also possible to specify that
+only integer or floating point numbers are acceptable values.
Often it is useful to allow comma-separated lists of values as well as
multiple occurrences of the options. This is easy using Perl's split()
and join() operators:
- my @libfiles = ();
GetOptions ("library=s" => \@libfiles);
@libfiles = split(/,/,join(',',@libfiles));
Of course, it is important to choose the right separator string for
each purpose.
+Warning: What follows is an experimental feature.
+
+Options can take multiple values at once, for example
+
+ --coordinates 52.2 16.4 --rgbcolor 255 255 149
+
+This can be accomplished by adding a repeat specifier to the option
+specification. Repeat specifiers are very similar to the C<{...}>
+repeat specifiers that can be used with regular expression patterns.
+For example, the above command line would be handled as follows:
+
+ GetOptions('coordinates=f{2}' => \@coor, 'rgbcolor=i{3}' => \@color);
+
+The destination for the option must be an array or array reference.
+
+It is also possible to specify the minimal and maximal number of
+arguments an option takes. C<foo=s{2,4}> indicates an option that
+takes at least two and at most 4 arguments. C<foo=s{,}> indicates one
+or more values; C<foo:s{,}> indicates zero or more option values.
+
=head2 Options with hash values
If the option destination is a reference to a hash, the option will
take, as value, strings of the form I<key>C<=>I<value>. The value will
be stored with the specified key in the hash.
- my %defines = ();
GetOptions ("define=s" => \%defines);
+Alternatively you can use:
+
+ GetOptions ("define=s%" => \$defines);
+
When used with command line options:
--define os=linux --define vendor=redhat
-the hash C<%defines> will contain two keys, C<"os"> with value
-C<"linux> and C<"vendor"> with value C<"redhat">.
-It is also possible to specify that only integer or floating point
-numbers are acceptible values. The keys are always taken to be strings.
+the hash C<%defines> (or C<%$defines>) will contain two keys, C<"os">
+with value C<"linux> and C<"vendor"> with value C<"redhat">. It is
+also possible to specify that only integer or floating point numbers
+are acceptable values. The keys are always taken to be strings.
=head2 User-defined subroutines to handle options
die(), issue the error message, and record that an error result must
be returned upon completion.
-If the text of the error message starts with an exclamantion mark C<!>
+If the text of the error message starts with an exclamation mark C<!>
it is interpreted specially by GetOptions(). There is currently one
special command implemented: C<die("!FINISH")> will cause GetOptions()
to stop processing options, as if it encountered a double dash C<-->.
GetOptions ('length|height=f' => \$length);
The first name is called the I<primary> name, the other names are
-called I<aliases>.
+called I<aliases>. When using a hash to store options, the key will
+always be the primary name.
Multiple alternate names are possible.
=item !
-The option does not take an argument and may be negated, i.e. prefixed
-by "no". E.g. C<"foo!"> will allow C<--foo> (a value of 1 will be
-assigned) and C<--nofoo> (a value of 0 will be assigned). If the
-option has aliases, this applies to the aliases as well.

+0 will be assigned). If the option has aliases, this applies to the

Using negation on a single letter option when bundling is in effect is
pointless and will result in a warning.
The C<+> specifier is ignored if the option destination is not a scalar.
-=item = I<type> [ I<desttype> ]
+=item = I<type> [ I<desttype> ] [ I<repeat> ]
The option requires an argument of the given type. Supported types
are:
the option value is not otherwise specified. It should be omitted when
not needed.
+The I<repeat> specifies the number of values this option takes per
+occurrence on the command line. It has the format C<{> [ I<min> ] [ C<,> [ I<max> ] ] C<}>.
+
+I<min> denotes the minimal number of arguments. It defaults to 1 for
+options with C<=> and to 0 for options with C<:>, see below. Note that
+I<min> overrules the C<=> / C<:> semantics.
+
+I<max> denotes the maximum number of arguments. It must be at least
+I<min>. If I<max> is omitted, I<but the comma is not>, there is no
+upper bound to the number of argument values taken.
+
=item : I<type> [ I<desttype> ]
Like C<=>, but designates the argument as optional.

-=head2 Storing options in a hash
+=head2 Parsing options from an arbitrary array
+
+By default, GetOptions parses the options that are present in the
+global array C<@ARGV>. A special entry C<GetOptionsFromArray> can be
+used to parse options from an arbitrary array.
+
+ use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptionsFromArray);
+ $ret = GetOptionsFromArray(\@myopts, ...);
+
+When used like this, the global C<@ARGV> is not touched at all.
+
+The following two calls behave identically:
+
+ $ret = GetOptions( ... );
+ $ret = GetOptionsFromArray(\@ARGV, ... );
+
+=head2 Parsing options from an arbitrary string
+
+A special entry C<GetOptionsFromString> can be used to parse options
+from an arbitrary string.
+
+ use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptionsFromString);
+ $ret = GetOptionsFromString($string, ...);
+
+The contents of the string are split into arguments using a call to
+C<Text::ParseWords::shellwords>. As with C<GetOptionsFromArray>, the
+global C<@ARGV> is not touched.
+
+It is possible that, upon completion, not all arguments in the string
+have been processed. C<GetOptionsFromString> will, when called in list
+context, return both the return status and an array reference to any
+remaining arguments:
+
+ ($ret, $args) = GetOptionsFromString($string, ... );
+
+If any arguments remain, and C<GetOptionsFromString> was not called in
+list context, a message will be given and C<GetOptionsFromString> will
+return failure.
+
+=head2 Storing options values in a hash
Sometimes, for example when there are a lot of options, having a
separate variable for each of them can be cumbersome. GetOptions()
-supports, as an alternative mechanism, storing options in a hash.

To obtain this, a reference to a hash must be passed I<as the first
argument> to GetOptions(). For each option that is specified on the

options B<must> always start with a double dash C<--> to avoid
-abiguity. For example, when C<vax>, C<a>, C<v> and C<x> are all valid

mbiguity. For example, when C<vax>, C<a>, C<v> and C<x> are all valid
options,

+A special option 'name' C<< <> >> can be used to designate a subroutine
to handle non-option arguments. When GetOptions() encounters an
argument that does not look like an option, it will immediately call this
subroutine and passes it one parameter: the argument name.

L<Configuring Getopt::Long>.

+
+Getopt::Long will provide a standard version message that includes the

+versions of Getopt::Long and Perl. The message will be written to
+standard output and processing will terminate.
+
+C<auto_version> will be enabled if the calling program explicitly
+specified a version number higher than 2.32 in the C<use> or
+C<require> statement.
+
+=item auto_help (default:disabled)
+
+Automatically provide support for the B<--help> and B<-?> options if
+the application did not specify a handler for this option itself.
+
+Getopt::Long will provide a help message using module L<Pod::Usage>. The
+message, derived from the SYNOPSIS POD section, will be written to
+standard output and processing will terminate.
+
+C<auto_help> will be enabled if the calling program explicitly

+
+This subroutine produces a standard help message, derived from the
