table-driven argument parsing for Perl 5
Project homepage: https://metacpan.org/release/Getopt-Tabular
Description
Getopt::Tabular is a Perl 5 module for table-driven argument parsing,
vaguely inspired by John Ousterhout's Tk_ParseArgv. All you really need
to do to use the package is set up a table describing all your
command-line options, and call &GetOptions with three arguments: a
reference to your option table, a reference to @ARGV (or something like
it), and an optional third array reference (say, to @newARGV).
&GetOptions will process all arguments in @ARGV, and copy any leftover
arguments (i.e. those that are not options or arguments to some option)
to the @newARGV array. (If the @newARGV argument is not supplied,
GetOptions will replace @ARGV with the stripped-down argument list.) If
there are any invalid options, GetOptions will print an error message
and return 0.
