I got my Moose commit bit today. I added some docs on how to use MooseX::Getopt. I'd like to add more but first I have to ask if the things I want to document are sane, and there are some things I don't know how to do yet.
Here are some things I've wanted to do which I haven't found in the documentation: * Add modify the default --help output I overrode _getopt_full_usage in my application to do this, see the code here: http://github.com/hinrik/hailo/blob/master/lib/Hailo.pm#L209 However I can't get this to work in the case where I supply an invalid option, e.g. --this-does-not-exist, then I just get the default output. There's a bug for this for my application here: http://github.com/hinrik/hailo/issues#issue/12 * Make 'foo' equivalent to 'foo --help' I did this simply by doing: @ARGV = qw(--help) unless @ARGV; Hailo->new_with_options->run; It works, but is this a sane way to do it? I.e. something we want to document for users? * has help => ( ... ) How does this work? Putting it in my program magically gives me --help but greping the source I can't find out why. Commit 47a89a8dec3d21759af9d3e9fbf06149a2870543 added support for --?, --usage and --help but setting a help attribute only gives me the latter.
