-# This package implements a new getopt function. This function adheres
-# to the new syntax (long option names, no bundling).
-#
-# Arguments to the function are:
-#
-# - a list of possible options. These should designate valid perl
-# identifiers, optionally followed by an argument specifier ("="
-# for mandatory arguments or ":" for optional arguments) and an
-# argument type specifier: "n" or "i" for integer numbers, "f" for
-# real (fix) numbers or "s" for strings.
-#
-# - if the first option of the list consists of non-alphanumeric
-# characters only, it is interpreted as a generic option starter.
-# Everything starting with one of the characters from the starter
-# will be considered an option.
-# Likewise, a double occurrence (e.g. "--") signals end of
-# the options list.
-# The default value for the starter is "-".
-#
-# Upon return, the option variables, prefixed with "opt_", are defined
-# and set to the respective option arguments, if any.
-# Options that do not take an argument are set to 1. Note that an
-# option with an optional argument will be defined, but set to '' if
-# no actual argument has been supplied.
-# A return status of 0 (false) indicates that the function detected
-# one or more errors.
+# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
+# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
+# It is now just a wrapper around the Getopt::Long module.
#
-# Special care is taken to give a correct treatment to optional arguments.
+# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
+# programming techniques.
#
-# E.g. if option "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 "foo=s" and "bar:s" :
-#
-# -bar -xxx -> $opt_bar = '', '-xxx' is next option
-# -foo -bar -> $opt_foo = '-bar'
-# -foo -- -> $opt_foo = '--'
