Getopt::Long is part of the standard Perl distribution. It should normally be available on any machine with Perl installed. You don't need to install anything extra.
It's better not to reinvent the wheel by manually parsing @ARGV if a core module will do what you want.

Hi,
I would like to parse command line arguments.
The problem I am facing is that I cannot get it right when an option has a optional value.
Example:
# ./ej.pl --remove
# ./ej.pl --remove all
And the script may allow only one option.
So this is wrong:
# ./ej.pl --dummy --remove

getopt::long::descriptive::usage5.18
Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Usage(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Usage(3)
NAME
Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Usage - the usage description for GLD
VERSION
version 0.096
SYNOPSIS
use Getopt::Long::Descriptive;
my ($opt, $usage) = describe_options( ... );
$usage->text; # complete usage message
$usage->die; # die with usage message
DESCRIPTION
This document only describes the methods of the Usage object. For information on how to use Getopt::Long::Descriptive, consult its
documentation.
METHODS
new
my $usage = Getopt::Long::Descriptive::Usage->new(\%arg);
You really don't need to call this. GLD will do it for you.
Valid arguments are:
options - an arrayref of options
leader_text - the text that leads the usage; this may go away!
text
This returns the full text of the usage message.
leader_text
This returns the text that comes at the beginning of the usage message.
option_text
This returns the text describing the available options.
warn
This warns with the usage message.
die
This throws the usage message as an exception.
$usage_obj->die(\%arg);
Some arguments can be provided
pre_text - text to be prepended to the usage message
post_text - text to be appended to the usage message
The "pre_text" and "post_text" arguments are concatenated with the usage message with no line breaks, so supply this if you need them.
