Getopt-Easy version 0.1

Getopt::Easy is a clear and simple alternative to Getopt::Std and Getopt::Long. It also provides a usage message, an option for POD output, and a flexible debugging option.

INSTALLATION

To install this module on Unix and its variants, take the Getopt-Easy-0.1.tar.gz file and do the usual:

        % gunzip Getopt-Easy-0.1.tar.gz
        % tar xvf Getopt-Easy-0.1.tar
        % cd Getopt-Easy-0.1
        % perl Makefile.PL
        % make
        % make test

        And assuming all went well,
        become super user to do the following:
        # make install

Since this is a pure Perl module you COULD install it manually. Unzip the tar.gz file somehow and then make a Getopt subdirectory somewhere on the default search paths (see perl -V and look at the bottom for the @INC array). Then copy lib/Getopt/Easy.pm there.

For example, on Win32:

        Use Winzip to extract the files from the tar.gz file.
        lib/Getopt/Easy.pm will be among them.

C:> perl -V
        D:\Perl\lib
        D:\Perl\site\lib

        # make the Getopt directory:
        C:>md D:\Perl\site\lib\Getopt

        Copy  lib/Getopt/Easy.pm  to  D:\Perl\site\lib\Getopt

        That's all that is needed.
        Then you can do:

        C:> perldoc Getopt::Easy

        And use the module however you wish.
