The function foo() is called through View::Value->new. I think that this code takes command-line argument as well. Let me know if this is the case. Kindly, help me with the following: 1. I am nowhere able to find the routine get_opt. Is it a pre-defined one 2. Will the function create() be called only when I give --host during runtime? 3. Now what values are passed to create() 4. what does that system command mean? what is its order or execution? 5. What is that host=s?
