Tk::Getopt 0.49

Tk::Getopt is a user configuration window for Tk with interface to Getopt::Long.

SYNOPSIS

use Tk::Getopt;
@opttable = ([opt1, =s, default], [opt2, !, 1], ...);
$opt = new Tk::Getopt(-opttable => @opttable,
-options => %options,
-filename => "$ENV{HOME}/.options");
$opt->set_defaults; # set default values
$opt->load_options; # configuration file
$opt->get_options; # command line
$opt->process_options; # process callbacks, check restrictions ...
print $options->{opt1}, $options->{opt2} ...;
...
$top = new MainWindow;
$opt->option_editor($top);
or using a Getopt::Long-like interface
$opt = new Tk::Getopt(-getopt => [help => $HELP,
file:s => $FILE,
foo! => $FOO,
num:i => $NO,
]);
or an alternative Getopt::Long interface
%optctl = (foo => $foo,
bar => $bar);
$opt = new Tk::Getopt(-getopt => [%optctl, "foo!", "bar=s"]);

Tk::Getopt provides an interface to access command line options via Getopt::Long and editing with a graphical user interface via a Tk window.

Unlike Getopt::Long, this package uses a object oriented interface, so you have to create a new Tk::Getopt object with new. Unlike other packages in the Tk hierarchy, this package does not define a Tk widget. The graphical interface is calles by the method option_editor.

After creating an object with new, you can parse command line options by calling get_options. This method calls itself Getopt::Long::GetOptions.
