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.
