Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libgetopt-argparse Version : 1.0.4 Upstream Author : Mytram <mytram2@gmail.com> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Getopt-ArgParse/ * License : same as Perl itself (Artistic) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl module for parsing command line arguments inspired from python's argparse Getopt::ArgParse is a Perl 5 module for parsing command line arguments with a richer and more user-friendly API interface, similar to python's argparse but with perlish extra. (CPAN author's description) Some nice features are: * More succint and powerful because it manages arguments for you. * Automatically generate usage messages when the help is requested or when some arguments are missing/incorrects. * Stores the arguments in an object based on the arguments names. * Supports extended options such as multi-value arguments, argument values split, specify which arguments are required, the types, etc. * Supports subcommand parsing such as: git fetch, git pull, etc. * Supports both optional and positional arguments. * Based on the design of Python argparse, which is one of the two most used modules in Python for this purpose. Depends on already packaged modules: libmoo-perl, libtext-wrapper-perl. Other dependencies seems integrated into perl. This package is stable and doesn't change often. Its maintenance should be easy and I can offer my help, although I'm not experienced, I can try as I think this package is worth the effort.
