Getopt::Long::Parser(3p) | Perl Programmers Reference Guide | Getopt::Long::Parser(3p)

# NAME

Getopt::Long::Parser - Getopt::Long object oriented interface

# SYNOPSIS

        use Getopt::Long::Parser;
        my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new;
        $p->configure( ...configuration options... );
        if ( $p->getoptions( ...options descriptions... ) ) ...
        if ( $p->getoptionsfromarray( \@array, ...options descriptions... ) ) ...

Configuration options can be passed to the constructor:

        my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new
                 config => [...configuration options...];

# DESCRIPTION

Getopt::Long::Parser is an object oriented interface to Getopt::Long. See its documentation for configuration and use.

Note that Getopt::Long and Getopt::Long::Parser are not object oriented. Getopt::Long::Parser emulates an object oriented interface, which should be okay for most purposes.

# CONSTRUCTOR

        my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new( %options );

The constructor takes an optional hash with parameters.

config
  An array reference with configuration settings. See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for all possible settings.

# METHODS

In the examples, $p is assumed to be the result of a call to the constructor.

## configure

        $p->configure( %settings );

Update the current config settings. See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for all possible settings.

## getoptionsfromarray

        $res = $p->getoptionsfromarray( $aref, @opts );

## getoptions

        $res = $p->getoptions( @opts );

The same as getoptionsfromarray( \@ARGV, @opts ).
