#
# Perl5 module to interface AppConfig::* to Johan Vromans' Getopt::Long
# module.  Getopt::Long implements the POSIX standard for command line
# options, with GNU extensions, and also traditional one-letter options.
# AppConfig::Getopt constructs the necessary Getopt:::Long configuration
# from the internal AppConfig::State and delegates the parsing of command
# line arguments to it.  Internal variable values are updated by callback
# from GetOptions().

=head1 NAME

AppConfig::Getopt - Perl5 module for processing command line arguments via delegation to Getopt::Long.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use AppConfig::Getopt;

    my $state  = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
    my $getopt = AppConfig::Getopt->new($state);

    $getopt->parse(\@args);            # read args

=head1 OVERVIEW

AppConfig::Getopt is a Perl5 module which delegates to Johan Vroman's
Getopt::Long module to parse command line arguments and update values 
in an AppConfig::State object accordingly.

AppConfig::Getopt is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 USING THE AppConfig::Getopt MODULE

To import and use the AppConfig::Getopt module the following line should appear
in your Perl script:

    use AppConfig::Getopt;

AppConfig::Getopt is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module 
and create an AppConfig::Getopt object through the getopt() method.

AppConfig::Getopt is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new 
AppConfig::Getopt object is created and initialised using the new() method.
This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::Getopt object.  A reference to
an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the first parameter:

    my $state  = AppConfig::State->new();
    my $getopt = AppConfig::Getopt->new($state);

This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::Getopt object. 

=head2 PARSING COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

The C<parse()> method is used to read a list of command line arguments and 
update the state accordingly.  

The first (non-list reference) parameters may contain a number of 
configuration strings to pass to Getopt::Long::Configure.  A reference 
to a list of arguments may additionally be passed or @ARGV is used by 
default.

    $getopt->parse();                       # uses @ARGV
    $getopt->parse(\@myargs);
    $getopt->parse(qw(auto_abbrev debug));  # uses @ARGV
    $getopt->parse(qw(debug), \@myargs);

See Getopt::Long for details of the configuartion options available.

A Getopt::Long specification string is constructed for each variable 
defined in the AppConfig::State.  This consists of the name, any aliases
and the ARGS value for the variable.

These specification string are then passed to Getopt::Long, the arguments
are parsed and the values in the AppConfig::State updated.

See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::Getopt
module via the getopt() method.
