-=head1 NAME
-
-GetOptions - extended processing of command line options
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Getopt::Long;
- $result = GetOptions (...option-descriptions...);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called
-GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command
-line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options
-have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a
-double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was
-the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided
-but not enabled by default. For example, the UNIX "ps" command can be
-given the command line "option"
-
- -vax
-
-which means the combination of B<-v>, B<-a> and B<-x>. With the new
-syntax B<--vax> would be a single option, probably indicating a
-computer architecture.
-
-Command line options can be used to set values. These values can be
-specified in one of two ways:
-
- --size 24
- --size=24
-
-GetOptions is called with a list of option-descriptions, each of which
-consists of two elements: the option specifier and the option linkage.
-The option specifier defines the name of the option and, optionally,
-the value it can take. The option linkage is usually a reference to a
-variable that will be set when the option is used. For example, the
-following call to GetOptions:
-
- &GetOptions("size=i" => \$offset);
-
-will accept a command line option "size" that must have an integer
-value. With a command line of "--size 24" this will cause the variable
-$offset to get the value 24.
-
-Alternatively, the first argument to GetOptions may be a reference to
-a HASH describing the linkage for the options. The following call is
-equivalent to the example above:
-
- %optctl = ("size" => \$offset);
- &GetOptions(\%optctl, "size=i");
-
-Linkage may be specified using either of the above methods, or both.
-Linkage specified in the argument list takes precedence over the
-linkage specified in the HASH.
-
-The command line options are taken from array @ARGV. Upon completion
-of GetOptions, @ARGV will contain the rest (i.e. the non-options) of
-the command line.
-
-Each option specifier designates the name of the option, optionally
-followed by an argument specifier. Values for argument specifiers are:
-
-=over 8
-
-=item E<lt>noneE<gt>
-
-Option does not take an argument.
-The option variable will be set to 1.
-
-=item !
-
-Option does not take an argument and may be negated, i.e. prefixed by
-"no". E.g. "foo!" will allow B<--foo> (with value 1) and B<-nofoo>
-(with value 0).
-The option variable will be set to 1, or 0 if negated.
-
-=item =s
-
-Option takes a mandatory string argument.
-This string will be assigned to the option variable.
-Note that even if the string argument starts with B<-> or B<-->, it
-will not be considered an option on itself.
-
-=item :s
-
-Option takes an optional string argument.
-This string will be assigned to the option variable.
-If omitted, it will be assigned "" (an empty string).
-If the string argument starts with B<-> or B<-->, it
-will be considered an option on itself.
-
-=item =i
-
-Option takes a mandatory integer argument.
-This value will be assigned to the option variable.
-Note that the value may start with B<-> to indicate a negative
-value.
-
-=item :i
-
-Option takes an optional integer argument.
-This value will be assigned to the option variable.
-If omitted, the value 0 will be assigned.
-Note that the value may start with B<-> to indicate a negative
-value.
-
-=item =f
-
-Option takes a mandatory real number argument.
-This value will be assigned to the option variable.
-Note that the value may start with B<-> to indicate a negative
-value.
-
-=item :f
-
-Option takes an optional real number argument.
-This value will be assigned to the option variable.
-If omitted, the value 0 will be assigned.
-
-=back
-
-A lone dash B<-> is considered an option, the corresponding option
-name is the empty string.
-
-A double dash on itself B<--> signals end of the options list.
-
-=head2 Linkage specification
-
-The linkage specifier is optional. If no linkage is explicitly
-specified but a ref HASH is passed, GetOptions will place the value in
-the HASH. For example:
-
- %optctl = ();
- &GetOptions (\%optctl, "size=i");
-
-will perform the equivalent of the assignment
-
- $optctl{"size"} = 24;
-
-For array options, a reference to an array is used, e.g.:
-
- %optctl = ();
- &GetOptions (\%optctl, "sizes=i@");
-
-with command line "-sizes 24 -sizes 48" will perform the equivalent of
-the assignment
-
- $optctl{"sizes"} = [24, 48];
-
-For hash options (an option whose argument looks like "name=value"),
-a reference to a hash is used, e.g.:
-
- %optctl = ();
- &GetOptions (\%optctl, "define=s%");
-
-with command line "--define foo=hello --define bar=world" will perform the
-equivalent of the assignment
-
- $optctl{"define"} = {foo=>'hello', bar=>'world')
-
-If no linkage is explicitly specified and no ref HASH is passed,
-GetOptions will put the value in a global variable named after the
-option, prefixed by "opt_". To yield a usable Perl variable,
-characters that are not part of the syntax for variables are
-translated to underscores. For example, "--fpp-struct-return" will set
-the variable $opt_fpp_struct_return. Note that this variable resides
-in the namespace of the calling program, not necessarily B<main>.
-For example:
-
- &GetOptions ("size=i", "sizes=i@");
-
-with command line "-size 10 -sizes 24 -sizes 48" will perform the
-equivalent of the assignments
-
- $opt_size = 10;
- @opt_sizes = (24, 48);
-
-A lone dash B<-> is considered an option, the corresponding Perl
-identifier is $opt_ .
-
-The linkage specifier can be a reference to a scalar, a reference to
-an array, a reference to a hash or a reference to a subroutine.
-
-If a REF SCALAR is supplied, the new value is stored in the referenced
-variable. If the option occurs more than once, the previous value is
-overwritten.
-
-If a REF ARRAY is supplied, the new value is appended (pushed) to the
-referenced array.
-
-If a REF HASH is supplied, the option value should look like "key" or
-"key=value" (if the "=value" is omitted then a value of 1 is implied).
-In this case, the element of the referenced hash with the key "key"
-is assigned "value".
-
-If a REF CODE is supplied, the referenced subroutine is called with
-two arguments: the option name and the option value.
-The option name is always the true name, not an abbreviation or alias.
-
-=head2 Aliases and abbreviations
-
-The option name may actually be a list of option names, separated by
-"|"s, e.g. "foo|bar|blech=s". In this example, "foo" is the true name
-of this option. If no linkage is specified, options "foo", "bar" and
-"blech" all will set $opt_foo.
-
-Option names may be abbreviated to uniqueness, depending on
-configuration option B<auto_abbrev>.
-
-=head2 Non-option call-back routine
-
-A special option specifier, E<lt>E<gt>, can be used to designate a subroutine
-to handle non-option arguments. GetOptions will immediately call this
-subroutine for every non-option it encounters in the options list.
-This subroutine gets the name of the non-option passed.
-This feature requires configuration option B<permute>, see section
-CONFIGURATION OPTIONS.
-
-See also the examples.
-
-=head2 Option starters
-
-On the command line, options can start with B<-> (traditional), B<-->
-(POSIX) and B<+> (GNU, now being phased out). The latter is not
-allowed if the environment variable B<POSIXLY_CORRECT> has been
-defined.
-
-Options that start with "--" may have an argument appended, separated
-with an "=", e.g. "--foo=bar".
-
-=head2 Return value
-
-A return status of 0 (false) indicates that the function detected
-one or more errors.
-
-=head1 COMPATIBILITY
-
-Getopt::Long::GetOptions() is the successor of
-B<newgetopt.pl> that came with Perl 4. It is fully upward compatible.
-In fact, the Perl 5 version of newgetopt.pl is just a wrapper around
-the module.
-
-If an "@" sign is appended to the argument specifier, the option is
-treated as an array. Value(s) are not set, but pushed into array
-@opt_name. If explicit linkage is supplied, this must be a reference
-to an ARRAY.
-
-If an "%" sign is appended to the argument specifier, the option is
-treated as a hash. Value(s) of the form "name=value" are set by
-setting the element of the hash %opt_name with key "name" to "value"
-(if the "=value" portion is omitted it defaults to 1). If explicit
-linkage is supplied, this must be a reference to a HASH.
-
-If configuration option B<getopt_compat> is set (see section
-CONFIGURATION OPTIONS), options that start with "+" or "-" may also
-include their arguments, e.g. "+foo=bar". This is for compatiblity
-with older implementations of the GNU "getopt" routine.
-
-If the first argument to GetOptions is a string consisting of only
-non-alphanumeric characters, it is taken to specify the option starter
-characters. Everything starting with one of these characters from the
-starter will be considered an option. B<Using a starter argument is
-strongly deprecated.>
-
-For convenience, option specifiers may have a leading B<-> or B<-->,
-so it is possible to write:
-
- GetOptions qw(-foo=s --bar=i --ar=s);
-
-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-If the option specifier is "one:i" (i.e. takes an optional integer
-argument), then the following situations are handled:
-
- -one -two -> $opt_one = '', -two is next option
- -one -2 -> $opt_one = -2
-
-Also, assume specifiers "foo=s" and "bar:s" :
-
- -bar -xxx -> $opt_bar = '', '-xxx' is next option
- -foo -bar -> $opt_foo = '-bar'
- -foo -- -> $opt_foo = '--'
-
-In GNU or POSIX format, option names and values can be combined:
-
- +foo=blech -> $opt_foo = 'blech'
- --bar= -> $opt_bar = ''
- --bar=-- -> $opt_bar = '--'
-
-Example of using variable references:
-
- $ret = &GetOptions ('foo=s', \$foo, 'bar=i', 'ar=s', \@ar);
-
-With command line options "-foo blech -bar 24 -ar xx -ar yy"
-this will result in:
-
- $foo = 'blech'
- $opt_bar = 24
- @ar = ('xx','yy')
-
-Example of using the E<lt>E<gt> option specifier:
-
- @ARGV = qw(-foo 1 bar -foo 2 blech);
- &GetOptions("foo=i", \$myfoo, "<>", \&mysub);
-
-Results:
-
- &mysub("bar") will be called (with $myfoo being 1)
- &mysub("blech") will be called (with $myfoo being 2)
-
-Compare this with:
-
- @ARGV = qw(-foo 1 bar -foo 2 blech);
- &GetOptions("foo=i", \$myfoo);
-
-This will leave the non-options in @ARGV:
-
- $myfoo -> 2
- @ARGV -> qw(bar blech)
-
-=head1 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
-
-B<GetOptions> can be configured by calling subroutine
-B<Getopt::Long::config>. This subroutine takes a list of quoted
-strings, each specifying a configuration option to be set, e.g.
-B<ignore_case>. Options can be reset by prefixing with B<no_>, e.g.
-B<no_ignore_case>. Case does not matter. Multiple calls to B<config>
-are possible.
-
-Previous versions of Getopt::Long used variables for the purpose of
-configuring. Although manipulating these variables still work, it
-is strongly encouraged to use the new B<config> routine. Besides, it
-is much easier.
-
-The following options are available:
-
-=over 12
-
-=item default
-
-This option causes all configuration options to be reset to their
-default values.
-
-=item auto_abbrev
-
-Allow option names to be abbreviated to uniqueness.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case B<auto_abbrev> is reset.
-
-=item getopt_compat
-
-Allow '+' to start options.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case B<getopt_compat> is reset.
-
-=item require_order
-
-Whether non-options are allowed to be mixed with
-options.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case b<require_order> is reset.
-
-See also B<permute>, which is the opposite of B<require_order>.
-
-=item permute
-
-Whether non-options are allowed to be mixed with
-options.
-Default is set unless environment variable
-POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case B<permute> is reset.
-Note that B<permute> is the opposite of B<require_order>.
-
-If B<permute> is set, this means that
-
- -foo arg1 -bar arg2 arg3
-
-is equivalent to
-
- -foo -bar arg1 arg2 arg3
-
-If a non-option call-back routine is specified, @ARGV will always be
-empty upon succesful return of GetOptions since all options have been
-processed, except when B<--> is used:
-
- -foo arg1 -bar arg2 -- arg3
-
-will call the call-back routine for arg1 and arg2, and terminate
-leaving arg2 in @ARGV.
-
-If B<require_order> is set, options processing
-terminates when the first non-option is encountered.
-
- -foo arg1 -bar arg2 arg3
-
-is equivalent to
-
- -foo -- arg1 -bar arg2 arg3

+=head1 NAME
+
+Getopt::Long - Extended processing of command line options
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Getopt::Long;
+ my $data = "file.dat";
+ my $length = 24;
+ my $verbose;
+ $result = GetOptions ("length=i" => \$length, # numeric
+ "file=s" => \$data, # string
+ "verbose" => \$verbose); # flag
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called
+GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command
+line options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options
+have long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a
+double dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was
+the case with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided
+but not enabled by default.
+
+=head1 Command Line Options, an Introduction
+
+Command line operated programs traditionally take their arguments from
+the command line, for example filenames or other information that the
+program needs to know. Besides arguments, these programs often take
+command line I<options> as well. Options are not necessary for the
+program to work, hence the name 'option', but are used to modify its
+default behaviour. For example, a program could do its job quietly,
+but with a suitable option it could provide verbose information about
+what it did.
+
+Command line options come in several flavours. Historically, they are
+preceded by a single dash C<->, and consist of a single letter.
+
+ -l -a -c
+
+Usually, these single-character options can be bundled:
+
+ -lac
+
+Options can have values, the value is placed after the option
+character. Sometimes with whitespace in between, sometimes not:
+
+ -s 24 -s24
+
+Due to the very cryptic nature of these options, another style was
+developed that used long names. So instead of a cryptic C<-l> one
+could use the more descriptive C<--long>. To distinguish between a
+bundle of single-character options and a long one, two dashes are used
+to precede the option name. Early implementations of long options used
+a plus C<+> instead. Also, option values could be specified either
+like
+
+ --size=24
+
+or
+
+ --size 24
+
+The C<+> form is now obsolete and strongly deprecated.
+
+=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. 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:
+
+ use Getopt::Long;
+
+This will load the core of the Getopt::Long module and prepare your
+program for using it. Most of the actual Getopt::Long code is not
+loaded until you really call one of its functions.
+
+In the default configuration, options names may be abbreviated to
+uniqueness, case does not matter, and a single dash is sufficient,
+even for long option names. Also, options may be placed between
+non-option arguments. See L<Configuring Getopt::Long> for more
+details on how to configure Getopt::Long.
+
+=head2 Simple options
+
+The most simple options are the ones that take no values. Their mere
+presence on the command line enables the option. Popular examples are:
+
+ --all --verbose --quiet --debug
+
+Handling simple options is straightforward:
+
+ my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false)
+ my $all = ''; # option variable with default value (false)
+ GetOptions ('verbose' => \$verbose, 'all' => \$all);
+
+The call to GetOptions() parses the command line arguments that are
+present in C<@ARGV> and sets the option variable to the value C<1> if
+the option did occur on the command line. Otherwise, the option
+variable is not touched. Setting the option value to true is often
+called I<enabling> the option.
+
+The option name as specified to the GetOptions() function is called
+the option I<specification>. Later we'll see that this specification
+can contain more than just the option name. The reference to the
+variable is called the option I<destination>.
+
+GetOptions() will return a true value if the command line could be
+processed successfully. Otherwise, it will write error messages to
+STDERR, and return a false result.
+
+=head2 A little bit less simple options
+
+Getopt::Long supports two useful variants of simple options:
+I<negatable> options and I<incremental> options.
+
+A negatable option is specified with an exclamation mark C<!> after the
+option name:
+
+ my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false)
+ GetOptions ('verbose!' => \$verbose);
+
+Now, using C<--verbose> on the command line will enable C<$verbose>,
+as expected. But it is also allowed to use C<--noverbose>, which will
+disable C<$verbose> by setting its value to C<0>. Using a suitable
+default value, the program can find out whether C<$verbose> is false
+by default, or disabled by using C<--noverbose>.
+
+An incremental option is specified with a plus C<+> after the
+option name:
+
+ my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false)
+ GetOptions ('verbose+' => \$verbose);
+
+Using C<--verbose> on the command line will increment the value of
+C<$verbose>. This way the program can keep track of how many times the
+option occurred on the command line. For example, each occurrence of
+C<--verbose> could increase the verbosity level of the program.
+
+=head2 Mixing command line option with other arguments
+
+Usually programs take command line options as well as other arguments,
+for example, file names. It is good practice to always specify the
+options first, and the other arguments last. Getopt::Long will,
+however, allow the options and arguments to be mixed and 'filter out'
+all the options before passing the rest of the arguments to the
+program. To stop Getopt::Long from processing further arguments,
+insert a double dash C<--> on the command line:
+
+ --size 24 -- --all
+
+In this example, C<--all> will I<not> be treated as an option, but
+passed to the program unharmed, in C<@ARGV>.
+
+=head2 Options with values
+
+For options that take values it must be specified whether the option
+value is required or not, and what kind of value the option expects.
+
+Three kinds of values are supported: integer numbers, floating point
+numbers, and strings.
+
+If the option value is required, Getopt::Long will take the
+command line argument that follows the option and assign this to the
+option variable. If, however, the option value is specified as
+optional, this will only be done if that value does not look like a
+valid command line option itself.
+
+ my $tag = ''; # option variable with default value
+ GetOptions ('tag=s' => \$tag);
+
+In the option specification, the option name is followed by an equals
+sign C<=> and the letter C<s>. The equals sign indicates that this
+option requires a value. The letter C<s> indicates that this value is
+an arbitrary string. Other possible value types are C<i> for integer
+values, and C<f> for floating point values. Using a colon C<:> instead
+of the equals sign indicates that the option value is optional. In
+this case, if no suitable value is supplied, string valued options get
+an empty string C<''> assigned, while numeric options are set to C<0>.
+
+=head2 Options with multiple values
+
+Options sometimes take several values. For example, a program could
+use multiple directories to search for library files:
+
+ --library lib/stdlib --library lib/extlib
+
+To accomplish this behaviour, simply specify an array reference as the
+destination for the option:
+
+ GetOptions ("library=s" => \@libfiles);
+
+Alternatively, you can specify that the option can have multiple
+values by adding a "@", and pass a scalar reference as the
+destination:
+
+ GetOptions ("library=s@" => \$libfiles);
+
+Used with the example above, C<@libfiles> (or C<@$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:
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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> (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
+
+Ultimate control over what should be done when (actually: each time)
+an option is encountered on the command line can be achieved by
+designating a reference to a subroutine (or an anonymous subroutine)
+as the option destination. When GetOptions() encounters the option, it
+will call the subroutine with two or three arguments. The first
+argument is the name of the option. For a scalar or array destination,
+the second argument is the value to be stored. For a hash destination,
+the second arguments is the key to the hash, and the third argument
+the value to be stored. It is up to the subroutine to store the value,
+or do whatever it thinks is appropriate.
+
+A trivial application of this mechanism is to implement options that
+are related to each other. For example:
+
+ my $verbose = ''; # option variable with default value (false)
+ GetOptions ('verbose' => \$verbose,
+ 'quiet' => sub { $verbose = 0 });
+
+Here C<--verbose> and C<--quiet> control the same variable
+C<$verbose>, but with opposite values.
+
+If the subroutine needs to signal an error, it should call die() with
+the desired error message as its argument. GetOptions() will catch the
+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 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<-->.
+
+=head2 Options with multiple names
+
+Often it is user friendly to supply alternate mnemonic names for
+options. For example C<--height> could be an alternate name for
+C<--length>. Alternate names can be included in the option
+specification, separated by vertical bar C<|> characters. To implement
+the above example:
+
+ GetOptions ('length|height=f' => \$length);
+
+The first name is called the I<primary> name, the other names are
+called I<aliases>. When using a hash to store options, the key will
+always be the primary name.
+
+Multiple alternate names are possible.
+
+=head2 Case and abbreviations
+
+Without additional configuration, GetOptions() will ignore the case of
+option names, and allow the options to be abbreviated to uniqueness.
+
+ GetOptions ('length|height=f' => \$length, "head" => \$head);
+
+This call will allow C<--l> and C<--L> for the length option, but
+requires a least C<--hea> and C<--hei> for the head and height options.
+
+=head2 Summary of Option Specifications
+
+Each option specifier consists of two parts: the name specification
+and the argument specification.
+
+The name specification contains the name of the option, optionally
+followed by a list of alternative names separated by vertical bar
+characters.
+
+ length option name is "length"
+ length|size|l name is "length", aliases are "size" and "l"
+
+The argument specification is optional. If omitted, the option is
+considered boolean, a value of 1 will be assigned when the option is
+used on the command line.
+
+The argument specification can be
+
+=over 4
+
+=item !
+
+The option does not take an argument and may be negated by prefixing
+it with "no" or "no-". E.g. C<"foo!"> will allow C<--foo> (a value of
+1 will be assigned) as well as C<--nofoo> and C<--no-foo> (a value of
+0 will be assigned). If the option has aliases, this applies to the
+aliases as well.
+
+Using negation on a single letter option when bundling is in effect is
+pointless and will result in a warning.
+
+=item +
+
+The option does not take an argument and will be incremented by 1
+every time it appears on the command line. E.g. C<"more+">, when used
+with C<--more --more --more>, will increment the value three times,
+resulting in a value of 3 (provided it was 0 or undefined at first).
+
+The C<+> specifier is ignored if the option destination is not a scalar.
+
+=item = I<type> [ I<desttype> ] [ I<repeat> ]
+
+The option requires an argument of the given type. Supported types
+are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item s
+
+String. An arbitrary sequence of characters. It is valid for the
+argument to start with C<-> or C<-->.
+
+=item i
+
+Integer. An optional leading plus or minus sign, followed by a
+sequence of digits.
+
+=item o
+
+Extended integer, Perl style. This can be either an optional leading
+plus or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits, or an octal
+string (a zero, optionally followed by '0', '1', .. '7'), or a
+hexadecimal string (C<0x> followed by '0' .. '9', 'a' .. 'f', case
+insensitive), or a binary string (C<0b> followed by a series of '0'
+and '1').
+
+=item f
+
+Real number. For example C<3.14>, C<-6.23E24> and so on.
+
+=back
+
+The I<desttype> can be C<@> or C<%> to specify that the option is
+list or a hash valued. This is only needed when the destination for
+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.
+If omitted, an empty string will be assigned to string values options,
+and the value zero to numeric options.
+
+Note that if a string argument starts with C<-> or C<-->, it will be
+considered an option on itself.
+
+=item : I<number> [ I<desttype> ]
+
+Like C<:i>, but if the value is omitted, the I<number> will be assigned.
+
+=item : + [ I<desttype> ]
+
+Like C<:i>, but if the value is omitted, the current value for the
+option will be incremented.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 Advanced Possibilities
+
+=head2 Object oriented interface
+
+Getopt::Long can be used in an object oriented way as well:
+
+ use Getopt::Long;
+ $p = new Getopt::Long::Parser;
+ $p->configure(...configuration options...);
+ if ($p->getoptions(...options descriptions...)) ...
+
+Configuration options can be passed to the constructor:
+
+ $p = new Getopt::Long::Parser
+ config => [...configuration options...];
+
+=head2 Thread Safety
+
+Getopt::Long is thread safe when using ithreads as of Perl 5.8. It is
+I<not> thread safe when using the older (experimental and now
+obsolete) threads implementation that was added to Perl 5.005.
+
+=head2 Documentation and help texts
+
+Getopt::Long encourages the use of Pod::Usage to produce help
+messages. For example:
+
+ use Getopt::Long;
+ use Pod::Usage;
+
+ my $man = 0;
+ my $help = 0;
+
+ GetOptions('help|?' => \$help, man => \$man) or pod2usage(2);
+ pod2usage(1) if $help;
+ pod2usage(-exitstatus => 0, -verbose => 2) if $man;

+ B<This program> will read the given input file(s) and do something
+ useful with the contents thereof.
+

+
+See L<Pod::Usage> for details.
+
+=head2 Storing option 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
+command line, the option value will be stored in the hash with the
+option name as key. Options that are not actually used on the command
+line will not be put in the hash, on other words,
+C<exists($h{option})> (or defined()) can be used to test if an option
+was used. The drawback is that warnings will be issued if the program
+runs under C<use strict> and uses C<$h{option}> without testing with
+exists() or defined() first.
+
+ my %h = ();
+ GetOptions (\%h, 'length=i'); # will store in $h{length}
+
+For options that take list or hash values, it is necessary to indicate
+this by appending an C<@> or C<%> sign after the type:
+
+ GetOptions (\%h, 'colours=s@'); # will push to @{$h{colours}}
+
+To make things more complicated, the hash may contain references to
+the actual destinations, for example:
+
+ my $len = 0;
+ my %h = ('length' => \$len);
+ GetOptions (\%h, 'length=i'); # will store in $len
+
+This example is fully equivalent with:
+
+ my $len = 0;
+ GetOptions ('length=i' => \$len); # will store in $len
+
+Any mixture is possible. For example, the most frequently used options
+could be stored in variables while all other options get stored in the
+hash:
+
+ my $verbose = 0; # frequently referred
+ my $debug = 0; # frequently referred
+ my %h = ('verbose' => \$verbose, 'debug' => \$debug);
+ GetOptions (\%h, 'verbose', 'debug', 'filter', 'size=i');
+ if ( $verbose ) { ... }
+ if ( exists $h{filter} ) { ... option 'filter' was specified ... }
+
+=head2 Bundling
+
+With bundling it is possible to set several single-character options
+at once. For example if C<a>, C<v> and C<x> are all valid options,
+
+ -vax
+
+would set all three.
+
+Getopt::Long supports two levels of bundling. To enable bundling, a
+call to Getopt::Long::Configure is required.
+
+The first level of bundling can be enabled with:
+
+ Getopt::Long::Configure ("bundling");
+
+Configured this way, single-character options can be bundled but long
+options B<must> always start with a double dash C<--> to avoid
+ambiguity. For example, when C<vax>, C<a>, C<v> and C<x> are all valid
+options,
+
+ -vax
+
+would set C<a>, C<v> and C<x>, but
+
+ --vax
+
+would set C<vax>.
+
+The second level of bundling lifts this restriction. It can be enabled
+with:
+
+ Getopt::Long::Configure ("bundling_override");
+
+Now, C<-vax> would set the option C<vax>.
+
+When any level of bundling is enabled, option values may be inserted
+in the bundle. For example:
+
+ -h24w80
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ -h 24 -w 80
+
+When configured for bundling, single-character options are matched
+case sensitive while long options are matched case insensitive. To
+have the single-character options matched case insensitive as well,
+use:
+
+ Getopt::Long::Configure ("bundling", "ignorecase_always");
+
+It goes without saying that bundling can be quite confusing.
+
+=head2 The lonesome dash
+
+Normally, a lone dash C<-> on the command line will not be considered
+an option. Option processing will terminate (unless "permute" is
+configured) and the dash will be left in C<@ARGV>.
+
+It is possible to get special treatment for a lone dash. This can be
+achieved by adding an option specification with an empty name, for
+example:
+
+ GetOptions ('' => \$stdio);
+
+A lone dash on the command line will now be a legal option, and using
+it will set variable C<$stdio>.
+
+=head2 Argument callback
+
+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.
+
+For example:
+
+ my $width = 80;
+ sub process { ... }
+ GetOptions ('width=i' => \$width, '<>' => \&process);
+
+When applied to the following command line:
+
+ arg1 --width=72 arg2 --width=60 arg3
+
+This will call
+C<process("arg1")> while C<$width> is C<80>,
+C<process("arg2")> while C<$width> is C<72>, and
+C<process("arg3")> while C<$width> is C<60>.
+
+This feature requires configuration option B<permute>, see section
+L<Configuring Getopt::Long>.
+
+=head1 Configuring Getopt::Long
+
+Getopt::Long can be configured by calling subroutine
+Getopt::Long::Configure(). This subroutine takes a list of quoted
+strings, each specifying a configuration option to be enabled, e.g.
+C<ignore_case>, or disabled, e.g. C<no_ignore_case>. Case does not
+matter. Multiple calls to Configure() are possible.
+
+Alternatively, as of version 2.24, the configuration options may be
+passed together with the C<use> statement:
+
+ use Getopt::Long qw(:config no_ignore_case bundling);
+
+The following options are available:
+
+=over 12
+
+=item default
+
+This option causes all configuration options to be reset to their
+default values.
+
+=item posix_default
+
+This option causes all configuration options to be reset to their
+default values as if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT had
+been set.
+
+=item auto_abbrev
+
+Allow option names to be abbreviated to uniqueness.
+Default is enabled unless environment variable
+POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<auto_abbrev> is disabled.
+
+=item getopt_compat
+
+Allow C<+> to start options.
+Default is enabled unless environment variable
+POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<getopt_compat> is disabled.
+
+=item gnu_compat
+
+C<gnu_compat> controls whether C<--opt=> is allowed, and what it should
+do. Without C<gnu_compat>, C<--opt=> gives an error. With C<gnu_compat>,
+C<--opt=> will give option C<opt> and empty value.
+This is the way GNU getopt_long() does it.
+
+=item gnu_getopt
+
+This is a short way of setting C<gnu_compat> C<bundling> C<permute>
+C<no_getopt_compat>. With C<gnu_getopt>, command line handling should be
+fully compatible with GNU getopt_long().
+
+=item require_order
+
+Whether command line arguments are allowed to be mixed with options.
+Default is disabled unless environment variable
+POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<require_order> is enabled.
+
+See also C<permute>, which is the opposite of C<require_order>.
+
+=item permute
+
+Whether command line arguments are allowed to be mixed with options.
+Default is enabled unless environment variable
+POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case C<permute> is disabled.
+Note that C<permute> is the opposite of C<require_order>.
+
+If C<permute> is enabled, this means that
+
+ --foo arg1 --bar arg2 arg3
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ --foo --bar arg1 arg2 arg3
+
+If an argument callback routine is specified, C<@ARGV> will always be
+empty upon successful return of GetOptions() since all options have been
+processed. The only exception is when C<--> is used:
+
+ --foo arg1 --bar arg2 -- arg3
+
+This will call the callback routine for arg1 and arg2, and then
+terminate GetOptions() leaving C<"arg2"> in C<@ARGV>.
+
+If C<require_order> is enabled, options processing
+terminates when the first non-option is encountered.
+
+ --foo arg1 --bar arg2 arg3
+
+is equivalent to
+
+ --foo -- arg1 --bar arg2 arg3
+
+If C<pass_through> is also enabled, options processing will terminate
+at the first unrecognized option, or non-option, whichever comes
+first.
+
+=item bundling (default: disabled)
+
+Enabling this option will allow single-character options to be
+bundled. To distinguish bundles from long option names, long options
+I<must> be introduced with C<--> and bundles with C<->.
+
+Note that, if you have options C<a>, C<l> and C<all>, and
+auto_abbrev enabled, possible arguments and option settings are:
+
+ using argument sets option(s)
+ ------------------------------------------
+ -a, --a a
+ -l, --l l
+ -al, -la, -ala, -all,... a, l
+ --al, --all all
+
+The surprising part is that C<--a> sets option C<a> (due to auto
+completion), not C<all>.
+
+Note: disabling C<bundling> also disables C<bundling_override>.
+
+=item bundling_override (default: disabled)
+
+If C<bundling_override> is enabled, bundling is enabled as with
+C<bundling> but now long option names override option bundles.
+
+Note: disabling C<bundling_override> also disables C<bundling>.
+
+B<Note:> Using option bundling can easily lead to unexpected results,
+especially when mixing long options and bundles. Caveat emptor.
+
+=item ignore_case (default: enabled)
+
+If enabled, case is ignored when matching long option names. If,
+however, bundling is enabled as well, single character options will be
+treated case-sensitive.
+
+With C<ignore_case>, option specifications for options that only
+differ in case, e.g., C<"foo"> and C<"Foo">, will be flagged as
+duplicates.
+
+Note: disabling C<ignore_case> also disables C<ignore_case_always>.
+
+=item ignore_case_always (default: disabled)
+
+When bundling is in effect, case is ignored on single-character
+options also.
+
+Note: disabling C<ignore_case_always> also disables C<ignore_case>.
+
+=item auto_version (default:disabled)
+
+Automatically provide support for the B<--version> option if
+the application did not specify a handler for this option itself.
+
+Getopt::Long will provide a standard version message that includes the
+program name, its version (if $main::VERSION is defined), and 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
+specified a version number higher than 2.32 in the C<use> or
+C<require> statement.
+
+=item pass_through (default: disabled)
+
+Options that are unknown, ambiguous or supplied with an invalid option
+value are passed through in C<@ARGV> instead of being flagged as
+errors. This makes it possible to write wrapper scripts that process
+only part of the user supplied command line arguments, and pass the
+remaining options to some other program.
+
+If C<require_order> is enabled, options processing will terminate at
+the first unrecognized option, or non-option, whichever comes first.
+However, if C<permute> is enabled instead, results can become confusing.
+
+Note that the options terminator (default C<-->), if present, will
+also be passed through in C<@ARGV>.
+
+=item prefix
+
+The string that starts options. If a constant string is not
+sufficient, see C<prefix_pattern>.
+
+=item prefix_pattern
+
+A Perl pattern that identifies the strings that introduce options.
+Default is C<--|-|\+> unless environment variable
+POSIXLY_CORRECT has been set, in which case it is C<--|->.
+
+=item long_prefix_pattern
+
+A Perl pattern that allows the disambiguation of long and short
+prefixes. Default is C<-->.
+
+Typically you only need to set this if you are using nonstandard
+prefixes and want some or all of them to have the same semantics as
+'--' does under normal circumstances.
+
+For example, setting prefix_pattern to C<--|-|\+|\/> and
+long_prefix_pattern to C<--|\/> would add Win32 style argument
+handling.
+
+=item debug (default: disabled)
+
+Enable debugging output.

+
+=head1 Exportable Methods
+
+=over
+
+=item VersionMessage
+
+This subroutine provides a standard version message. Its argument can be:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+A string containing the text of a message to print I<before> printing
+the standard message.
+
+=item *
+
+A numeric value corresponding to the desired exit status.
+
+=item *
+
+A reference to a hash.
+
+=back
+
+If more than one argument is given then the entire argument list is
+assumed to be a hash. If a hash is supplied (either as a reference or
+as a list) it should contain one or more elements with the following
+keys:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<-message>
+
+=item C<-msg>
+
+The text of a message to print immediately prior to printing the
+program's usage message.
+
+=item C<-exitval>
+
+The desired exit status to pass to the B<exit()> function.
+This should be an integer, or else the string "NOEXIT" to
+indicate that control should simply be returned without
+terminating the invoking process.
+
+=item C<-output>
+
+A reference to a filehandle, or the pathname of a file to which the
+usage message should be written. The default is C<\*STDERR> unless the
+exit value is less than 2 (in which case the default is C<\*STDOUT>).
+
+=back
+
+You cannot tie this routine directly to an option, e.g.:
+
+ GetOptions("version" => \&VersionMessage);
+
+Use this instead:
+
+ GetOptions("version" => sub { VersionMessage() });
+
+=item HelpMessage
+
+This subroutine produces a standard help message, derived from the
+program's POD section SYNOPSIS using L<Pod::Usage>. It takes the same
+arguments as VersionMessage(). In particular, you cannot tie it
+directly to an option, e.g.:
+
+ GetOptions("help" => \&HelpMessage);
+
+Use this instead:
+
+ GetOptions("help" => sub { HelpMessage() });
+
+=back
+
+=head1 Return values and Errors
+
+Configuration errors and errors in the option definitions are
+signalled using die() and will terminate the calling program unless
+the call to Getopt::Long::GetOptions() was embedded in C<eval { ...
+}>, or die() was trapped using C<$SIG{__DIE__}>.
+
+GetOptions returns true to indicate success.
+It returns false when the function detected one or more errors during
+option parsing. These errors are signalled using warn() and can be
+trapped with C<$SIG{__WARN__}>.
+
+=head1 Legacy
+
+The earliest development of C<newgetopt.pl> started in 1990, with Perl
+version 4. As a result, its development, and the development of
+Getopt::Long, has gone through several stages. Since backward
+compatibility has always been extremely important, the current version
+of Getopt::Long still supports a lot of constructs that nowadays are
+no longer necessary or otherwise unwanted. This section describes
+briefly some of these 'features'.
+
+=head2 Default destinations
+
+When no destination is specified for an option, GetOptions will store
+the resultant value in a global variable named C<opt_>I<XXX>, where
+I<XXX> is the primary name of this option. When a progam executes
+under C<use strict> (recommended), these variables must be
+pre-declared with our() or C<use vars>.
+
+ our $opt_length = 0;
+ GetOptions ('length=i'); # will store in $opt_length
+
+To yield a usable Perl variable, characters that are not part of the
+syntax for variables are translated to underscores. For example,
+C<--fpp-struct-return> will set the variable
+C<$opt_fpp_struct_return>. Note that this variable resides in the
+namespace of the calling program, not necessarily C<main>. For
+example:
+
+ GetOptions ("size=i", "sizes=i@");
+
+with command line "-size 10 -sizes 24 -sizes 48" will perform the
+equivalent of the assignments
+
+ $opt_size = 10;
+ @opt_sizes = (24, 48);
+
+=head2 Alternative option starters
+
+A string of alternative option starter characters may be passed as the
+first argument (or the first argument after a leading hash reference
+argument).
+
+ my $len = 0;
+ GetOptions ('/', 'length=i' => $len);
+
+Now the command line may look like:
+
+ /length 24 -- arg
+
+Note that to terminate options processing still requires a double dash
+C<-->.
+
+GetOptions() will not interpret a leading C<< "<>" >> as option starters
+if the next argument is a reference. To force C<< "<" >> and C<< ">" >> as
+option starters, use C<< "><" >>. Confusing? Well, B<using a starter
+argument is strongly deprecated> anyway.
+
+=head2 Configuration variables
+
+Previous versions of Getopt::Long used variables for the purpose of
+configuring. Although manipulating these variables still work, it is
+strongly encouraged to use the C<Configure> routine that was introduced
+in version 2.17. Besides, it is much easier.
+
+=head1 Trouble Shooting
+
+=head2 GetOptions does not return a false result when an option is not supplied
+
+That's why they're called 'options'.
+
+=head2 GetOptions does not split the command line correctly
+
+The command line is not split by GetOptions, but by the command line
+interpreter (CLI). On Unix, this is the shell. On Windows, it is
+COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE. Other operating systems have other CLIs.
+
+It is important to know that these CLIs may behave different when the
+command line contains special characters, in particular quotes or
+backslashes. For example, with Unix shells you can use single quotes
+(C<'>) and double quotes (C<">) to group words together. The following
+alternatives are equivalent on Unix:
+
+ "two words"
+ 'two words'
+ two\ words
+
+In case of doubt, insert the following statement in front of your Perl
+program:
+
+ print STDERR (join("|",@ARGV),"\n");
+
+to verify how your CLI passes the arguments to the program.
+
+=head2 Undefined subroutine &main::GetOptions called
+
+Are you running Windows, and did you write
+
+ use GetOpt::Long;
+
+(note the capital 'O')?
+
+=head2 How do I put a "-?" option into a Getopt::Long?
+
+You can only obtain this using an alias, and Getopt::Long of at least
+version 2.13.
+
+ use Getopt::Long;
+ GetOptions ("help|?"); # -help and -? will both set $opt_help
