Re: Design of a global-variable storage package

Obviously, a program has but one @ARGV.
Thus, the data will be global.

sub func {
  local @ARGV = @_;
  my( @foo, @bar );
  GetOptions(
    'foo=s' => \@foo,
    'bar=s' => \@bar,
  );
  print "foo = @foo\nbar = @bar\n";
}

func( -foo => 1, -bar => 1, -foo => 2, -bar => 2 );

We're building the house of the future together.

You mostly have a point. Getopt::Long is simple enough for that scenario where everything pretty much lives inside a single function. This framework is targetted at more complex interaction where acceptable options come from multiple locations. I can imagine that some functions may find this useful, but I am having a hard time imagining what functions those may be ;-)	[reply]
