perl-App-Cmdline

Helper for Writing Command-Line Applications

This module helps to write command-line applications, especially if they need to be fed by some command-line options and arguments. It extends the App::Cmd::Simple module by adding the ability to use several predefined sets of options that many real command-line applications use and need anyway. For example, in most applications you need a way how to print its version or how to provide a decent help text. Once (or if) you agree with the way how it is done here, you can spend much less time with the almost-always-repeating options. Your module (representing the application you are writing) should inherit from this module and implement, at least, the method opt_spec (optionally) and the method execute (mandatory).
