Re^3: how to deal with 20 commands

You could use Getopt::Long:

    local @ARGV = @_;
    GetOptions( # . . .
    ) or warn 'Whatever';

It's a pet peeve of mine that Getopt::Long doesn't accept input from anything but `@ARGV`. I really hope this changes in Perl6 (and no, not just so that it expects input only from `@*ARGS` ;-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Are there getopt libraries for other languages that take input from places other than the command line? I realize that taking values from the environment or from an rc file might be useful, but I would argue against putting that in the getopt library but rather have applications handle it on a case by case basis. thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]

Sure, any c getopt library accepts any command line source you give it, which may or may not be the one your program got. Likewise for Java. I would have expected a perlish lib to accept an optional arrayref, and fall back on `@ARGV` if not supplied. (By which I mean, I understand perfectly well how to get around this when I need to, but I don't want to need to.)	[reply] [d/l]
