( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
This kind of redundancy has never really bothered me. I usually use Getopt::Long in conjunction with Pod::Usage and my 'skeleton' usually looks like:
use Getopt::Long; use Pod::Usage; our ($user,$pass,$numb,$help); GetOptions( 'user|u=s' => \$user, 'pass|p=s' => \$pass, 'numb|n=i' => \$numb, 'help|h|?' => \$help, ); $numb ||= 42; pod2usage(-verbose=>2) if $help; pod2usage(-verbose=>1) unless $user and $pass; __END__
Considering that the variables used to hold user options are being shared across two (or more) packages, this doesn't seem overly redundant to me. But that's just me. ;)

UPDATE: hmmm, here is something evil:

our ($user,$pass,$numb,$help); my @tmpl = ( 'user|u=s', 'pass|p=s', 'numb|n=i', 'help|h|?', ); @tmpl = map {"'$_' => \\\$@{[(split('\|',$_))[0]]},"} @tmpl; eval "GetOptions(@tmpl);";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
