AppConfig::Std

AppConfig::Std is a subclass of Andy Wardley's AppConfig module, to provide standard command-line arguments for tool scripts.

AppConfig is a Perl5 module to handle global configuration variables for perl programs. AppConfig::Std provides the following switches:

        -help           display a short help statement
        -doc            display the full documentation (formatted pod)
        -version        display the version of the script
        -verbose        turn on verbose status/progress output
        -debug          turn on debugging output

The module is a subclass of AppConfig, and uses Brad Appleton's Pod::Usage module to implement the -help and -doc switches.

To install this module, you should just have to run the following:

        % perl Makefile.PL
        % make
        % make test
        % make install

I'd be happy to hear of any suggestions for improving this module.
