TODO list for Perl module Getopt::Lucid #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Bugs #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# - repeated parameters should be OK -- later should override. Could add a "unique" modifier for original behavior #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Features to add #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# - new option types: - Version( $string ) -- defaults to "--version" and preempts exceptions - prints $VERSION of script - Help( $string ) -- defaults to "--help|-h|-?" and preempts exceptions - prints any usage information defined in spec? - optional coderef to handle help (given rest of command line as args) - create spec modifier with coderef to denote a potential command - dispatch to command immediately when seen & pass the rest of the array for further processing -- maybe gets back modified command line if it comes back at all - commands() function to give list of command seen on command line (?) - dispatch() function to call, in order, the list of commands (?) - Usage information in spec and printed by a separate function - optional name for params usage("msg", "FILE") --> --input=FILE - usage("msg", "LABEL", "VALUE") --> --keypair LABEL=VALUE - For keypair validation, pass *both* key and value to a validation subroutine (allowing custom validation by key) - Callbacks (?) - option to allow unrecognized dash-prefixed options without exception - "cuddle" parameters -- e.g. "-Ilib" is "-I lib" #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Bugfixes/technical/other #--------------------------------------------------------------------------# - test how negation is handled under $STRICT - write cookbook - refactor ugly code (module and tests) - Allow keypairs to escape an equals sign for use in keys(?) -- e.g. "define is\==value" giving "is=" => "value" (Does anyone really need this?)
