Package : perl-Getopt-Mixed
Package details
Summary: Getopt processing with both long and short options
Description:
This module is obsolete.
This package was my response to the standard modules Getopt::Std and
Getopt::Long. 'Std' doesn't support long options, and 'Long' didn't support
short options. I wanted both, since long options are easier to remember and
short options are faster to type.
However, some time ago Getopt::Long was changed to support short options as
well, and it has the huge advantage of being part of the standard Perl
distribution. So, Getopt::Mixed is now effectively obsolete. I don't intend
to make any more changes, but I'm leaving it available for people who have
code that already uses it. For new modules, I recommend using Getopt::Long
like this:
