=head1 DESCRIPTION
-=head1 METHODS
+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 trait L<MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute::Trait> or the
+attribute metaclass L<MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute> to get non-default
+commandline option names and aliases.
+
+You can use the trait L<MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute::Trait::NoGetopt>
+or the attribute metaclass L<MooseX::Getopt::Meta::Attribute::NoGetopt>
+to have C<MooseX::Getopt> ignore your attribute in the commandline options.
+
+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>. If you don't want your accessors
+to have the leading underscore in their name, you can do this:
+
+ # for read/write attributes
+ has '_foo' => (accessor => 'foo', ...);
+
+ # or for read-only attributes
+ has '_bar' => (reader => 'bar', ...);
+
+This will mean that Getopt will not handle a --foo param, but your
+code can still call the C<foo> method.
+
+If your class also uses a configfile-loading role based on
+L<MooseX::ConfigFromFile>, such as L<MooseX::SimpleConfig>,
+L<MooseX::Getopt>'s C<new_with_options> will load the configfile
+specified by the C<--configfile> option (or the default you've
+given for the configfile attribute) for you.
+
+Options specified in multiple places follow the following
+precendence order: commandline overrides configfile, which
+overrides explicit new_with_options parameters.

+=head2 Supported Type Constraints
=over 4
-=item B<new_with_options (%params)>
+=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 { [] }
+ );
-=item B<meta>
+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

-=head1 BUGS
+=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 :)
+
+=head2 Inferred Type Constraints
+
+If you define a custom subtype which is a subtype of one of the
+standard L</Supported Type Constraints> above, and do not explicitly
+provide custom support as in L</Custom Type Constraints> above,
+MooseX::Getopt will treat it like the parent type for Getopt
+purposes.
+
+For example, if you had the same custom C<ArrayOfInts> subtype
+from the examples above, but did not add a new custom option
+type for it to the C<OptionTypeMap>, it would be treated just
+like a normal C<ArrayRef> type for Getopt purposes (that is,
+C<=s@>).
+
+=method 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.
+
+The special parameter C<argv>, if specified should point to an array
+reference with an array to use instead of C<@ARGV>.
+
+If L<Getopt::Long/GetOptions> fails (due to invalid arguments),
+C<new_with_options> will throw an exception.
+
+If L<Getopt::Long::Descriptive> is installed and any of the following
+command line params are passed, the program will exit with usage
+information (and the option's state will be stored in the help_flag
+attribute). You can add descriptions for each option by including a
+B<documentation> option for each attribute to document.
+
+ --?
+ --help
+ --usage
+
+If you have L<Getopt::Long::Descriptive> the C<usage> param is also passed to
+C<new> as the usage option.
+
+=method B<ARGV>
+
+This accessor contains a reference to a copy of the C<@ARGV> array
+as it originally existed at the time of C<new_with_options>.
+
+=method B<extra_argv>
-All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
-exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
-to cpan-RT.
+This accessor contains an arrayref of leftover C<@ARGV> elements that
+L<Getopt::Long> did not parse. Note that the real C<@ARGV> is left
+un-mangled.
