NAME
    Getopt::Attribute - Attribute wrapper for Getopt::Long

VERSION
    version 2.101700

SYNOPSIS
      use Getopt::Attribute;

      our $verbose : Getopt(verbose!);
      our $all     : Getopt(all);
      our $size    : Getopt(size=s);
      our $more    : Getopt(more+);
      our @library : Getopt(library=s);
      our %defines : Getopt(define=s);
      sub quiet : Getopt(quiet) { our $quiet_msg = 'seen quiet' }
      usage() if our $man : Getopt(man);

      # Meanwhile, on some command line:
      #
      # mypgm.pl --noverbose --all --size=23 --more --more --more --quiet
      #          --library lib/stdlib --library lib/extlib
      #          --define os=linux --define vendor=redhat --man -- foo

DESCRIPTION
    Note: This version of the module works works with perl 5.8.0. If you
    need it to work with perl 5.6.x, please use an earlier version from
    CPAN.

    This module provides an attribute wrapper around "Getopt::Long". Instead
    of declaring the options in a hash with references to the variables and
    subroutines affected by the options, you can use the "Getopt" attribute
    on the variables and subroutines directly.

    As you can see from the Synopsis, the attribute takes an argument of the
    same format as you would give as the hash key for "Getopt::Long". See
    the "Getopt::Long" manpage for details.

    Note that since attributes are processed during CHECK, but assignments
    on newly declared variables are processed during run-time, you can't set
    defaults on those variables beforehand, like this:

        our $verbose : Getopt(verbose!) = 1;  # DOES NOT WORK

    Instead, you have to establish defaults afterwards, like so:

        our $verbose : Getopt(verbose!);
        $verbose ||= 1;

    Alternatively, you can specify a default value within the "Getopt"
    attribute:

        our $def2 : Getopt(def2=i 42);

    To check whether there was an error during "getopt" processing you can
    use the "error()" function:

        pod2usage(-verbose => 2, -exitval => 0) if Getopt::Attribute->error;
