| 2 | | |
| 3 | | This module is a wrapper around Getopt::Long that extends the value of |
| 4 | | the original Getopt::Long module to: |
| 5 | | |
| 6 | | 1) add a simple graphical user interface option screen if no arguments |
| 7 | | are passed to the program. |
| 8 | | 2) provide an auto-help mechanism such that -h and --help are handled |
| 9 | | automatically. |
| 10 | | |
| 11 | | It's designed to make the creation of graphical shells trivial without the |
| 12 | | programmer having to think about it much as well as providing automatic |
| 13 | | good-looking usage output without the programmer needing to write usage() |
| 14 | | functions. |
| 15 | | |
| 16 | | This also can turn normal command line programs into web CGI scripts as |
| 17 | | well (automatically). If the Getopt::GUI::Long program is installed as a |
| 18 | | CGI script then it will automatically prompt the user for the same |
| 19 | | variables. |
