I am using AppConfig in a program as it handles both command-line and configuration files for program options in one interface. The problem I am having is using the ERROR handler provided with AppConfig. The only samples of code I have looked at look like this: 
my $config = AppConfig->new( {
            CASE   => 1,
            ERROR  => \&my_error,
            GLOBAL => { 
                    DEFAULT  => "<unset>", 
                    ARGCOUNT => ARGCOUNT_ONE,
                },
        } );

I thought I would use a subroutine here but that does not allow AppConfig to display its errors. 
my $config = AppConfig->new( {
            CASE   => 1,
            ERROR  => hanlde_errors(),
            GLOBAL => { 
                    DEFAULT  => "<unset>", 
                    ARGCOUNT => ARGCOUNT_ONE,
                },
        } );

Basically, I would like AppConfig to display its errors, print the pod2usage documentation, and exit. I will admit I do not understand what AppConfig is doing with the \&my_error and not been able to figure it out.

Does any have examples of this? I have done searches here and used google but not much luck.

Thanks sxmwb
