These items are what will be required to go to version 1.00.
o [no more critical items]
These are other interesting things which I might do
o make --debug_options=9 even more readable
o improve ease-of-use (enhanced help display) for more advanced features (i.e. debug_options=9)
o clean up use of --version_modules (when to show all)
o incorporate LWP::UserAgent->get() as a standard way to get a conf
o VERSION option in program sets the $main::VERSION
o "strict" option:
0 = no strictness
1 = unknown cmd line options cause error (file can define options),
2 = [1] + silently don't include env+file options not defined by program
3 = [1+2] + unknown cmd line options cause error (program only can define options)
4 = [1+2+3] + file options not defined by program cause errors
o allow for subclassing (App::Options::YAML, etc.) (split up the init() method)
o save the init(@args) for later print_usage or later reparsing
o setenv arg to set environment variables
o make lots more tests (starting with the examples in the documentation)
o make example scripts (starting with the examples in the documentation)
o enforce other option parsing rules (single letter + arg, single/double dash)
o consider ISO std datetimes: T instead of space, Z suffix, timezone suffix
o option aliases/synonyms/alternates (i.e. -s = --silent)
o "secure" attribute (to ensure that passwords are only stored in files not
readable by "world", and never in %ENV)
o write "prefix.pod"
o try use lib "dir"; instead of unshift(@INC,"dir") (interaction with "arch")
o consider checking the PERL5LIB variable under -T
