SOLVED (as well as my previous post here: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.moose/2010/06/msg1675.html) Getopt::Long::Parser is being invoked with the wrong config options in MooseX::Getopt::Basic. the "no_auto_help" option must be passed, or Getopt::Long will see the --help flag and proceed to call pod2usage (with an undefined message), and exit. I will submit a ticket to the MooseX-Getopt queue, and a patch. -- "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes." - William James . . . . .
