Re: ARGV issue

[TomDLux]

I use Getopts:;Long to parse command line arguments, and Pod::usage to display the POD documentation which is in the same file.

use POSIX qw{strftime};
use Getop:;Long;
use Pod::Usage;

my %options = (date => strftime( %Y-%m-%d);

Getopts( \%options, 'date=s', 'help', 'man' )
   or pod2usage( { '-message' => 'Error processing command line args',
+ 
                   '-verbose' => 0,
                   '-exitval' => 1,
                           });
pod2usage( { '-verbose' => 1 }) if exists $options{help};
pod2usage( { '-verbose' => 2 }) if exists $options{man};
__END__
