See Tabular.pod for\ndetails.  It is available from\n\n    ftp://ftp.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/users/greg\n\nand should be available through CPAN at\n\n    http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/GWARD\n\n\nSome nice features of Getopt::Tabular are:\n  \n* Command-line arguments are carefully type-checked, both by pattern and\n  number---e.g. if an option requires two integers, GetOptions makes sure\n  that exactly two integers follow it!\n\n* The valid command-line arguments are specified in a data structure\n  separate from the call to GetOptions; this makes it easier to have very\n  long lists of options, and to parse options from multiple sources\n  (e.g. the command line, an environment variable, and a configuration\n  file).\n\n* Getopt::Tabular can intelligently generate help text based on your option\n  descriptions.\n\n* The type system is extensible, and if you can define your desired\n  argument type using a single Perl regular expression then it's\n  particularly easy to extend.\n\n* Options can be abbreviated and come in any order.\n\n* A \"spoof\" mode in which arguments are parsed without side-effects.\n\nTo test and install Getopt::Tabular:\n\n    perl ./Makefile.PL\n    make test\n    make install\n\nThat's it!  The test suite isn't very complete yet, but it's a start.  The\ndocumentation is quite extensive; only a few minor features aren't covered.\nAlso, there is a demo program that shows off several of the module's\nfeatures.\n\nEmail problems, questions, bug reports, etc. to greg@bic.mni.mcgill.ca.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faces%2Fgetopt-tabular","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faces%2Fgetopt-tabular","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faces%2Fgetopt-tabular/lists"}
