ExtUti...r::Opts(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts — bestie, this is the lil module that handles all your command-line option processing for modulemaker. It lives in the Perl docs (section 3pm, she's a Perl module, not a command, okay?) ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts;

$eumm_package = q{ExtUtils::ModuleMaker};
$eumm_script  = q{modulemaker};

$opt = ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts->new(
    $eumm_package,
    $eumm_script,
);

$mod = ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive->new(
    $opt->get_standard_options()
);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen 💅 the methods in this package are literally here to provide processing of command-line options for modulemaker — that's the command-line utility that comes with the Perl extension ExtUtils::ModuleMaker — and also for similar utilities that are associated with Perl extensions which subclass ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. That's the whole vibe. She's the options girlie. She handles the flags so you don't have to. no cap 🎀

👑 METHODS 👑

✨ new() ✨

• Usage — $opt = ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts->new($package,$script) called from inside a command-line utility such as modulemaker
• Purpose — creates an ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts object, iconic behaviour honestly
• Returns — an ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Opts object 🫶
• Argument — two arguments, and yes you need both of them:
  1. A string holding 'ExtUtils::ModuleMaker' or a package subclassed therefrom, e.g. 'ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP'.
  2. A string holding 'modulemaker' or the name of a command-line utility similar to 'modulemaker' and found in the 'scripts/' directory of the distribution named in argument 1.

✨ get_standard_options() ✨

• Usage — %standard_options = $opt->get_standard_options called from inside a command-line utility such as modulemaker
• Purpose — provides arguments to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive::new() or to the constructor of the 'Interactive' package of a distribution subclassing ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. she's feeding the constructor, that's her whole job 💅
• Returns — a hash suitable for passing to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive::new() or a similar constructor ✨
• Argument — n/a (she takes nothing, she just gives 💖)
