Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts( $obj, \@args, $truth )
   or die "wrong usage";

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, this module implements a customized option parser that's used for Pod::Perldoc. It's giving very much "Getopt::Std's getopts, but make it custom" ✨

The way it works is you call:

Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts($object, \@ARGV, $truth)

Then here's the whole vibe check, step by step:

• Given -n, if there's a opt_n_with, it'll call $object->opt_n_with( ARGUMENT ) — like, "-n foo" becomes $object->opt_n_with('foo'). Ditto for "-nfoo" 💅
• Otherwise (given -n) if there's an opt_n, we'll call it as $object->opt_n($truth). And bestie, Truth defaults to 1 👑
• Otherwise we try calling $object->handle_unknown_option('n') — and we increment the error count by the return value of it, fr fr
• If there's no handle_unknown_option, then we just warn, and then increment the error counter 😭

The return value of Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts is true if there are no errors — otherwise it's false. No cap. 🫶
