perl-getopt-long 2.51

Module to handle parsing command line options

The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called GetOptions(). It parses the command line from ARGV, recognizing and removing specified options and their possible values.

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.
