This module is a wrapper around Getopt::Long that extends the value of
|
||
|
|
the original Getopt::Long module to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) add a simple graphical user interface option screen if no arguments
|
||
|
|
are passed to the program.
|
||
|
|
2) provide an auto-help mechanism such that -h and --help are handled
|
||
|
|
automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's designed to make the creation of graphical shells trivial without the
|
||
|
|
programmer having to think about it much as well as providing automatic
|
||
|
|
good-looking usage output without the programmer needing to write usage()
|
||
|
|
functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This also can turn normal command line programs into web CGI scripts as
|
||
|
|
well (automatically). If the Getopt::GUI::Long program is installed as a
|
||
|
|
CGI script then it will automatically prompt the user for the same
|
||
|
|
variables.
