=head1 NAME
-MooseX::Getopt -
+MooseX::Getopt - A Moose role for processing command line options
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
+This is a role which provides an alternate constructor for creating
+objects using parameters passed in from the command line.
+
+This module attempts to DWIM as much as possible with the command line
+params by introspecting your class's attributes. It will use the name
+of your attribute as the command line option, and if there is a type
+constraint defined, it will configure Getopt::Long to handle the option
+accordingly.
+
+You can use the attribute metaclass L<MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute>
+to get non-default commandline option names and aliases.
+
+By default, attributes which start with an underscore are not given
+commandline argument support, unless the attribute's metaclass is set
+to L<MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute>.
+
+=head2 Supported Type Constraints
+
+=over 4
+
+=item I<Bool>
+
+A I<Bool> type constraint is set up as a boolean option with
+Getopt::Long. So that this attribute description:
+
+ has 'verbose' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Bool');
+
+would translate into C<verbose!> as a Getopt::Long option descriptor,
+which would enable the following command line options:
+
+ % my_script.pl --verbose
+ % my_script.pl --noverbose
+
+=item I<Int>, I<Float>, I<Str>
+
+These type constraints are set up as properly typed options with
+Getopt::Long, using the C<=i>, C<=f> and C<=s> modifiers as appropriate.
+
+=item I<ArrayRef>
+
+An I<ArrayRef> type constraint is set up as a multiple value option
+in Getopt::Long. So that this attribute description:
+
+ has 'include' => (
+ is => 'rw',
+ isa => 'ArrayRef',
+ default => sub { [] }
+ );
+
+would translate into C<includes=s@> as a Getopt::Long option descriptor,
+which would enable the following command line options:
+
+ % my_script.pl --include /usr/lib --include /usr/local/lib
+
+=item I<HashRef>
+
+A I<HashRef> type constraint is set up as a hash value option
+in Getopt::Long. So that this attribute description:
+
+ has 'define' => (
+ is => 'rw',
+ isa => 'HashRef',
+ default => sub { {} }
+ );
+
+would translate into C<define=s%> as a Getopt::Long option descriptor,
+which would enable the following command line options:
+
+ % my_script.pl --define os=linux --define vendor=debian
+

+
+=head2 Custom Type Constraints
+
+It is possible to create custom type constraint to option spec
+mappings if you need them. The process is fairly simple (but a
+little verbose maybe). First you create a custom subtype, like
+so:
+
+ subtype 'ArrayOfInts'
+ => as 'ArrayRef'
+ => where { scalar (grep { looks_like_number($_) } @$_) };
+
+Then you register the mapping, like so:
+
+ MooseX::Getopt::OptionTypeMap->add_option_type_to_map(
+ 'ArrayOfInts' => '=i@'
+ );
+
+Now any attribute declarations using this type constraint will
+get the custom option spec. So that, this:
+
+ has 'nums' => (
+ is => 'ro',
+ isa => 'ArrayOfInts',
+ default => sub { [0] }
+ );
+
+Will translate to the following on the command line:
+
+ % my_script.pl --nums 5 --nums 88 --nums 199
+
+This example is fairly trivial, but more complex validations are
+easily possible with a little creativity. The trick is balancing
+the type constraint validations with the Getopt::Long validations.
+
+Better examples are certainly welcome :)
+
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item B<new_with_options (%params)>
+This method will take a set of default C<%params> and then collect
+params from the command line (possibly overriding those in C<%params>)
+and then return a newly constructed object.
+
+=item B<ARGV>
+
+This accessor contains a reference to a copy of the C<@ARGV> array
+which was copied before L<Getopt::Long> mangled it, in case you want
+to see your original options.
+
=item B<meta>
+This returns the role meta object.
