libgetargs-long-perl - 1.1012-6 main

The Getargs::Long module allows usage of named parameters in function
calls, along with optional argument type-checking. It provides an easy
way to get at the parameters within the routine, and yields concise
descriptions for the common cases of all-mandatory and all-optional
parameter lists.
.
The validation of arguments can be done by a structure-driven routine
getargs() which is fine for infrequently called routines (but should be
slower), or via a dedicated routine created and compiled on the fly the
first time it is needed, by using the cgetargs() family (expected to be
faster).
.
The Log::Agent module is used to report errors, which leaves to the
application the choice of the final logging method: to a file, to
STDERR, or to syslog.
.
Note that this module is still in the alpha stage of development, and
the interface to it may change: indeed, it changed between 0.1.2 and
0.1.3.
