The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Getopt::FileConfig
DSLIP: RdpOp
description: Define options and defaults in a file.

chapterid: 12 (Opt_Arg_Param_Proc)

Consulted with Johan Vromans.
similar:
AppConfig Getopt::ArgvFile
rationale:
Getopt::FileConfig is an OO wrapper over Getopt::Long that allows
the programmer to define command-line options, their default values,
and variables where they should be stored in a simple configuration
file. The value of these variables can be optionally overridden from
environment variables and unconditionally from command-line
arguments.
There are two modules with similar functionality in category
"Option, Argument, Parameter and Configuration File Processing":
1. AppConfig is a complete solution that also covers functionality
of Getopt::FileConfig. It is more than 10-times bigger and
correspondingly more complex.
2. Getopt::ArgvFile is much simpler than Getopt::FileConfig: it
only provides a way for specifying defaults for command-line
options.
Compared to Getopt::ArgvFile, Getopt::FileConfig supports the
following extra features: - array passed to Getopt::Long is built
automatically; - variable names to which the options get stored are
specified; - default values can be array and hash references, as
supported by Getopt::Long. - storage of configuration entries /
command-line arguments into a hash-ref is supported.
