in reply to (jeffa) Re: vandale.pl (with Getopt::Declare)
in thread vandale.pl

In the interest of tmtowtdi, here's an alternate Getopt::Declare scenario that sets up the $all and @words variables in action blocks. Here I decided to make the search words required (but without option description), and just allow for -a as an abbrev. of -all (instead of using the --all version):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use Getopt::Declare; use vars qw/$all @words/; my $opts = Getopt::Declare->new(<<'EOS'); -a[ll] List all matches {$all = 1} <terms:s>... [required] {@words = @terms} EOS for my $word (@words) { # insert fetch code ... # ... last unless $all; } __END__
