Dyer::CLI - useful subs for coding cli scripts

This standardizes some things like expecting that if the -v flag is used, that means they want version. That if they want -h, they want help. Etc.

This package must be used as base.

	use base 'DYER::CLI';

prompt user for y/n confirmation will loop until it returs true or false argument is the question for the user

	yn('continue?') or exit;

will force program to exit if user if whoami is not root.

returns array ref of argument variables treated as paths, they are resolved with Cwd::abs_path() Any arguments that do not resolve, are skipped with a warning. if no abs paths are present after checking, returns undef files are checked for existence returns undef if no @ARGVS or none of the args are on disk skips over files not on disk with warnings

Same as argv_aspaths(), but returns false if any of the file arguments are no longer on disk

Same as argv_aspaths(), but does not check for existence, only resolved to abs paths

returns name of script, just the name.

will print manual and exit.

returns hash of options uses Getopt::Std, forces v for version, h for help

To get standard with v and h:

	my $o = gopts(); 

To add options

	my $o = gopts('af:');

Adds a (bool) and f(value), v and h are still enforced.
