my $p = Getopt::Long::Parser->new( %options ); The constructor takes an optional hash with parameters. config An array reference with configuration settings. See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for all possible settings.

Getopt::Long::Parser is an object oriented interface to Getopt::Long. See its documentation for configuration and use. Note that Getopt::Long and Getopt::Long::Parser are not object oriented. Getopt::Long::Parser emulates an object oriented interface, which should be okay for most purposes.

In the examples, $p is assumed to be the result of a call to the constructor. configure $p->configure( %settings ); Update the current config settings. See "Configuring Getopt::Long" in Getopt::Long for all possible settings. getoptionsfromarray $res = $p->getoptionsfromarray( $aref, @opts ); getoptions $res = $p->getoptions( @opts ); The same as getoptionsfromarray( \@ARGV, @opts ).
