=head1 NAME

Pod::Usage::CommandLine - Add some common command line options from Pod::Usage

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Pod::Usage::CommandLine;

  BEGIN { our $VERSION = '1.0'; }    # NOTE: Set main version in BEGIN block

  # then, use command line options:

  my_program.pl --version
  my_program.pl --help
  my_program.pl -h
  my_program.pl '-?'
  my_program.pl --man
  my_program.pl -m

  # You can also export GetOptions and/or pod2usage if you need them:

  use Pod::Usage::CommandLine qw(GetOptions pod2usage);

  my %opt;
  GetOptions(\%opt, @getopt_long_specs) or pod2usage;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Basically a cut/paste from the boilerplate described in Pod::Usage and
Getopt::Long so it can be included with a single "use" instead of
cut/pasting it.

See L<Getopt::Long> for all the intricacies of specifying options.

Set $VERSION in a BEGIN block as shown above so it will get picked up
by the '--version' option.

=head1 EXPORTS

C<GetOptions> and C<pod2usage> are exported on demand.
