NAME

    Getopt::Long::Modern - Use Getopt::Long with modern defaults

SYNOPSIS

     use Getopt::Long::Modern;
     GetOptions(
       "f|foo=i" => \my $foo,
       "b|bar"   => \my $bar,
       "Z|baz=s" => \my @baz,
     );

DESCRIPTION

    Getopt::Long::Modern is a simple wrapper of Getopt::Long to reduce the
    amount of typing needed to get modern defaults, and to avoid having to
    remember the correct incantations. See "Summary of Option
    Specifications" in Getopt::Long for details on specifying options using
    Getopt::Long.

    Only the GetOptions function from Getopt::Long is exported. Additional
    Getopt::Long configuration may be passed as import parameters.

     use Getopt::Long::Modern qw(auto_help auto_version pass_through);
     # perl 5.8.1+ or Getopt::Long 2.33+ required for auto_help and auto_version

    For any more advanced usage, you should probably use Getopt::Long
    directly.

DEFAULTS

    Getopt::Long::Modern currently sets the following configuration options
    by default. See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for more
    details on available configuration.

 gnu_getopt

    This sets gnu_compat to allow --opt= for setting an empty string
    option, bundling to allow short options to be bundled together, permute
    to allow specifying options before or after other arguments, and
    no_getopt_compat to disallow + for specifying options.

 no_auto_abbrev

    This disables the functionality that automatically allows abbreviated
    versions of any option, because no one is ever going to specify --foo
    as --fo, and it is not useful when you have multiple options that
    abbreviate to the same single-letter option. When it is desired to have
    a single-letter short option versions available, this can be specified
    explicitly with the normal | syntax.

 no_ignore_case

    This makes all options case-sensitive, which is expected and required
    when explicitly specifying short options of the same character but
    different case.
