POD::PERLDOC::GETOPTSOO(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay bestie, this is Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — the customized option parser for Pod::Perldoc. It’s giving very specific, very useful option-parsing energy, and yes, we’re gonna get into all of it. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO ();

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

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO implements a customized option parser used for Pod::Perldoc. It’s rather like Getopt::Std’s getopts, but with its own little rules, and here’s the whole tea:

Call Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts($object, \@ARGV, $truth) — that’s the main character call. 💫

• Given -n, if there’s a opt_n_with, it’ll call $object->opt_n_with( ARGUMENT ) (e.g., "-n foo" => $object->opt_n_with('foo'). Ditto "-nfoo")
• Otherwise (given -n) if there’s an opt_n, we’ll call it $object->opt_n($truth) (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)
• 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 no errors, otherwise it’s false. Slay. ✅
