Re: Getopt::Euclid victim of 5.10 upgrade

Getopt::Euclid has 21 active bugs and the most recent change to the resolved bugs were 2 years ago. You depend on code that is most likely unmaintained (the assumption is mine and mine alone).

I would look for replacements for Getopt::Euclid if I were you, even if it requires a major rewrite of your application.

It was active when I started using it. That's part of the problem; all my new scripts over the last couple of years now use it. Unfortunately, I suspect replacing Euclid is what I'm going to have to do.	[reply]

You're an experienced user of the module, and the way you presented the problem shows you definitely have some skill. Perhaps fixing Getopt::Euclid really would be a better use of your time than reworking your application. Even if you can't/shouldn't/won't take over maintaining G::E on CPAN, you can still post your solution as a patch on rt. `cat >~/.sig </dev/interesting`	[reply] [d/l]

Is there any other package that have the same function as Getopt::Euclid, i.e. parsing command line options based on the script's own POD? -- S P Arif Sahari Wibowo http://www.arifsaha.com/	[reply]

Is there any other package that have the same function as Getopt::Euclid I don't know. What's the problem with Getopt::Euclid ? Version v0.2.3 seems to be working fine for me on Cygwin 1.7.5 (perl 5.10.1). Getopt::Euclid is now apparently being maintained - if you have an issue with it, a bug report might be the quickest way to get that issue sorted. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
