=head1 NAME

Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder - Build a Getopt::Long option spec from a set of attributes

=head1 VERSION

version 0.002

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This module builds a Getopt::Long option specification from a hash of option
parameters as would be returned by Getopt::Long::Spec::Parser->parse($spec)
and/or Getopt::Nearly::Everything->opt($opt_name)->attrs().

Here's an example of use:

    use Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder;

    my %opt_attrs = (
        opt_type       => 'simple'
        value_required => 1,
        value_type     => 'string',
        max_vals       => '5',
        dest_type      => 'array',
        min_vals       => '1',
        short          => [ 'f' ],
        long           => 'foo',
    );

    my $builder   = Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder->new();
    my $spec      = $builder->build( %opt_attrs );
    print $spec;  # output: 'foo|f=s@{1,5}'

    # OR...

    my $spec =
        Getopt::Long::Spec::Builder->build( %opt_attrs );

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Create a new builder object.

=head2 build

and return the spec as a string
