Changes for version 0.04

  • Renamed the other_args to be other_values to make things more consistent.
  • other_values no takes a number instead of a string and can be used to help the parser know how many arguments are expected after all the options have been parsed.
  • Changes so we would work under 5.4 perl.
  • Changes to docs to cleanup and reflect changes to code.
  • Added multi-valued option. Syntax is --arg ... - where the final '-' can be either the start of the next argument or a free-standing dash.
  • Fixed a problem with calculation of the indent for the help strings.
  • Added code to better check the non-dashed tags for validity.
  • Fixed a problem that was causing options to be dropped from the first line of the usage output.
  • Added more test cases for new options and to better check old ones.
  • Print line numbers for test when test is run as perl -Ilib t/Getopt-OO.t
