=head1 DESCRIPTION

Getopt::Euclid uses your program's own POD documentation to create a powerful
command-line argument parser. This ensures that your program's documented interface
and its actual interface always agree.

The created command-line argument parser includes many features such as argument
type checking, required arguments, exclusive arguments, optional arguments with
default values, automatic usage message, ...

To use the module, simply write the following at the top of your program:

    use Getopt::Euclid;

This will cause Getopt::Euclid to be require'd and its import method will be
called. It is important that the import method be allowed to run, so do not
invoke Getopt::Euclid in the following manner:

    # Will not work
    use Getopt::Euclid ();

When the module is loaded within a regular Perl program, it will:

=over

=item 1.

locate any POD in the same *.pl file or its associated *.pod file.

=item 2.

extract information from that POD, most especially from 
the C<=head1 REQUIRED ARGUMENTS> and C<=head1 OPTIONS> sections,

=item 3.

build a parser that parses the arguments and options the POD specifies,

=item 4.

remove the command-line arguments from C<@ARGV> and parse them, and

=item 5.

put the results in the global C<%ARGV> variable (or into specifically named
optional variables, if you request that -- see L<Exporting option variables>).

=back

As a special case, if the module is loaded within some other module
(i.e. from within a C<.pm> file), it still locates and extracts POD
information, but instead of parsing C<@ARGV> immediately, it caches that
information and installs an C<import()> subroutine in the caller module.
This new C<import()> acts just like Getopt::Euclid's own import, except
that it adds the POD from the caller module to the POD of the callee.

All of which just means you can put some or all of your CLI specification
in a module, rather than in the application's source file.
See L<Module interface> for more details.

=head1 INTERFACE 

=head2 Program interface

You write:

    use Getopt::Euclid;

and your command-line is parsed automagically.

=head2 Module interface

=over

=item import()

You write:

    use Getopt::Euclid;

and your module will then act just like Getopt::Euclid (i.e. you can use
your module I<instead> of Getopt::Euclid>, except that your module's POD
will also be prepended to the POD of any module that loads yours. In
other words, you can use Getopt::Euclid in a module to create a standard
set of CLI arguments, which can then be added to any application simply
by loading your module.

To accomplish this trick Getopt::Euclid installs an C<import()>
subroutine in your module. If your module already has an C<import()>
subroutine defined, terrible things happen. So do not do that.

You may also short-circuit the import method within your calling program to
have the POD from several modules included for argument parsing.

    use Module1::Getopt (); # No argument parsing
    use Module2::Getopt (); # No argument parsing
    use Getopt::Euclid;     # Arguments parsed

=item process_args()

Alternatively, to parse arguments from a source different from C<@ARGV>, use the
C<process_args()> subroutine.

    use Getopt::Euclid qw(:defer);
    my @args = ( '-in', 'file.txt', '-out', 'results.txt' );
    Getopt::Euclid->process_args(\@args);

If you want to use the :minimal or :vars mode in this type of scenario, you can
pass extra options to C<process_args()>:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw(:defer);
    my @args = ( '-in', 'file.txt', '-out', 'results.txt' );
    Getopt::Euclid->process_args(\@args, {-minimal => 1, -vars => 'prefix_'});

This is particularly when you plan on processing POD manually.

=item process_pods()

Similarly, to parse argument specifications from a source different than the
current script (and its dependencies), use the C<process_pods()> subroutine.

    use Getopt::Euclid ();
    my @pods = ( 'script.pl', 'Module.pm' );
    $Getopt::Euclid::MAN = Getopt::Euclid->process_pods(\@pods, {-strict => 1});
    my @args = ( '-in', 'file.txt', '-out', 'results.txt' );
    Getopt::Euclid->process_args(\@args);

By default, this method will look for .pod files associated with the given .pl
and .pm files and use these .pod files preferentially when available. Set
-strict to 1 to only use the given files.

=back

=head2 POD interface

This is where all the action is. POD markup can be placed in a .pod file that
has the same prefix as the corresponding Perl file. Alternatively, POD can be
inserted anywhere in the Perl code, but is typically added either after an
__END__ statement (like in the L<SYNOPSIS>), or interspersed in the code:

    use Getopt::Euclid;

    =head1 NAME

    yourprog - Your program here

    =head1 REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

    =over

    =item  -s[ize]=<h>x<w>    

    Specify size of simulation

    =for Euclid:
        h.type:    int > 0
        h.default: 24
        w.type:    int >= 10
        w.default: 80

    =back

    =head1 OPTIONS

    =over

    =item  -i

    Specify interactive simulation

    =back

    =cut

    # Getopt::Euclid has parsed commandline parameters and stored them in %ARGV

    if ($ARGV{-i}) {
        print "Interactive mode...\n";
    }

    for my $x (0..$ARGV{-size}{h}-1) {
        for my $y (0..$ARGV{-size}{w}-1) {
            do_something_with($x, $y);
        }
    }

When Getopt::Euclid is loaded in a non-C<.pm> file, it searches that file for
the following POD documentation:

=over

=item =head1 NAME

Getopt::Euclid ignores the name specified here. In fact, if you use the
standard C<--help>, C<--usage>, C<--man>, C<--podfile>, or C<--version>
arguments (see L<Standard arguments>), the module replaces the name specified
in this POD section with the actual name by which the program was invoked
(i.e. with C<$0>).

=item =head1 USAGE

Getopt::Euclid ignores the usage line specified here. If you use the
standard C<--help>, C<--usage>, C<--man> or C<--podfile> arguments, the
module replaces the usage line specified in this POD section with a usage
line that reflects the actual interface that the module has constructed.

=item =head1 VERSION

Getopt::Euclid extracts the current version number from this POD section.
To do that it simply takes the first substring that matches
I<< <digit> >>.I<< <digit> >> or I<< <digit> >>_I<< <digit> >>. It also
accepts one or more additional trailing .I<< <digit> >> or _I<< <digit> >>,
allowing for multi-level and "alpha" version numbers such as:

    =head1 VERSION
    
    This is version 1.2.3

or:

    =head1 VERSION
    
    This is alpha release 1.2_34

You may also specify the version number in your code. However, in order for
Getopt::Euclid to properly read it, it must be in a C<BEGIN> block:

    BEGIN { use version; our $VERSION = qv('1.2.3') }
    use Getopt::Euclid;

Euclid stores the version as C<$Getopt::Euclid::SCRIPT_VERSION>.

=item =head1 REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

Getopt::Euclid uses the specifications in this POD section to build a
parser for command-line arguments. That parser requires that every one
of the specified arguments is present in any command-line invocation.
See L<Specifying arguments> for details of the specification syntax.

The actual headings that Getopt::Euclid can recognize here are:

    =head1 [STANDARD|STD|PROGRAM|SCRIPT|CLI|COMMAND[-| ]LINE] [REQUIRED|MANDATORY] [PARAM|PARAMETER|ARG|ARGUMENT][S]

B<Caveat:> Do not put additional subheadings (=headX) inside the REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
section.

=item =head1 OPTIONS

Getopt::Euclid uses the specifications in this POD section to build a
parser for command-line arguments. That parser does not require that any
of the specified arguments is actually present in a command-line invocation.
Again, see L<Specifying arguments> for details of the specification syntax.

Typically a program will specify both C<REQUIRED ARGUMENTS> and C<OPTIONS>,
but there is no requirement that it supply both, or either.

The actual headings that Getopt::Euclid recognizes here are:

    =head1 [STANDARD|STD|PROGRAM|SCRIPT|CLI|COMMAND[-| ]LINE] OPTION[AL|S] [PARAM|PARAMETER|ARG|ARGUMENT][S]

B<Caveat:> Do not put additional subheadings (=headX) inside the REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
section.

=item =head1 COPYRIGHT

Getopt::Euclid prints this section whenever the standard C<--version> option
is specified on the command-line.

The actual heading that Getopt::Euclid recognizes here is any heading
containing any of the words "COPYRIGHT", "LICENCE", or "LICENSE".

=back

=head2 Specifying arguments

Each required or optional argument is specified in the POD in the following
format:

    =item ARGUMENT_STRUCTURE

    ARGUMENT_DESCRIPTION

    =for Euclid:
        ARGUMENT_OPTIONS
        PLACEHOLDER_CONSTRAINTS

=head3 Argument structure

=over 

=item *

Each argument is specified as an C<=item>.

=item *

Any part(s) of the
specification that appear in square brackets are treated as optional.

=item *

Any parts that appear in angle brackets are placeholders for actual
values that must be specified on the command-line.

=item *

Any placeholder that is immediately followed by C<...> may be repeated as many
times as desired.

=item *

Any whitespace in the structure specifies that any amount of whitespace
(including none) is allowed at the same position on the command-line.

=item *

A vertical bar indicates the start of an alternative variant of the argument.

=back

For example, the argument specification:

    =item -i[n] [=] <file> | --from <file>

indicates that any of the following may appear on the command-line:

    -idata.txt    -i data.txt    -i=data.txt    -i = data.txt
                                     
    -indata.txt   -in data.txt   -in=data.txt   -in = data.txt

    --from data.text

as well as any other combination of whitespacing.

Any of the above variations would cause all three of:

    $ARGV{'-i'}
    $ARGV{'-in'}
    $ARGV{'--from'}

to be set to the string C<'data.txt'>.

You could allow the optional C<=> to also be an optional colon by specifying:

    =item -i[n] [=|:] <file>

Optional components may also be nested, so you could write:

    =item -i[n[put]] [=] <file>

which would allow C<-i>, C<-in>, and C<-input> as synonyms for this
argument and would set all three of C<$ARGV{'-i'}>, C<$ARGV{'-in'}>, and
C<$ARGV{'-input'}> to the supplied file name.

The point of setting every possible variant within C<%ARGV> is that this
allows you to use a single key (say C<$ARGV{'-input'}>, regardless of
how the argument is actually specified on the command-line.

=head2 Repeatable arguments

Normally Getopt::Euclid only accepts each specified argument once, the first
time it appears in @ARGV. However, you can specify that an argument may appear
more than once, using the C<repeatable> option:

    =item file=<filename>

    =for Euclid:
        repeatable

When an argument is marked repeatable the corresponding entry of C<%ARGV> will
not contain a single value, but rather an array reference. If the argument also
has L<Multiple placeholders>, then the corresponding entry in C<%ARGV> will be
an array reference with each array entry being a hash reference.

=head2 Boolean arguments

If an argument has no placeholders it is treated as a boolean switch and its
entry in C<%ARGV> will be true if the argument appeared in C<@ARGV>.

For a boolean argument, you can also specify variations that are I<false>, if
they appear. For example, a common idiom is:

    =item --print

    Print results

    =item --noprint

    Do not print results

These two arguments are effectively the same argument, just with opposite
boolean values. However, as specified above, only one of C<$ARGV{'--print'}>
and C<$ARGV{'--noprint'}> will be set. 

As an alternative you can specify a single argument that accepts either value
and sets both appropriately:

    =item --[no]print

    [Do not] print results

    =for Euclid:
        false: --noprint

With this specification, if C<--print> appears in C<@ARGV>, then
C<$ARGV{'--print'}> will be true and C<$ARGV{'--noprint'}> will be false.
On the other hand, if C<--noprint> appears in C<@ARGV>, then
C<$ARGV{'--print'}> will be false and C<$ARGV{'--noprint'}> will be true.

The specified false values can follow any convention you wish:

    =item [+|-]print

    =for Euclid:
        false: -print

or:

    =item -report[_no[t]]

    =for Euclid:
        false: -report_no[t]

et cetera.

=head2 Multiple placeholders

An argument can have two or more placeholders:

    =item -size <h> <w>

The corresponding command line argument would then have to provide two values:

    -size 24 80

Multiple placeholders can optionally be separated by literal characters
(which must then appear on the command-line). For example:

    =item -size <h>x<w>

would then require a command-line of the form:

    -size 24x80

If an argument has two or more placeholders, the corresponding entry in
C<%ARGV> becomes a hash reference, with each of the placeholder names as one
key. That is, the above command-line would set both C<$ARGV{'-size'}{'h'}> and
C<$ARGV{'-size'}{'w'}>.

=head2 Optional placeholders

Placeholders can be specified as optional as well:

    =item -size <h> [<w>]

This specification then allows either:

    -size 24

or:

    -size 24 80

on the command-line. If the second placeholder value is not provided, the
corresponding C<$ARGV{'-size'}{'w'}> entry is set to C<undef>. See also
L<Placeholder defaults>.

=head2 Unflagged placeholders

If an argument consists of a single placeholder with no "flag" marking it:

    =item <filename>

then the corresponding entry in C<%ARG> will have a key the same as the
placeholder (including the surrounding angle brackets):

    if ($ARGV{'<filename>'} eq '-') {
        $fh = \*STDIN;
    }

The same is true for any more-complicated arguments that begin with a
placeholder:

    =item <h> [x <w>]

The only difference in the more-complex cases is that, if the argument
has any additional placeholders, the entire entry in C<%ARGV> becomes a hash:

    my $total_size
        = $ARGV{'<h>'}{'h'} * $ARGV{'<h>'}{'w'}

Note that, as in earlier multi-placeholder examples, the individual second-
level placeholder keys I<do not> retain their angle-brackets.

=head2 Repeated placeholders

Any placeholder that is immediately followed by C<...>, like so:

    =item -lib <file>...

    =for Euclid:
        file.type: readable

will match at least once, but as many times as possible before encountering
the next argument on the command-line. This allows one to specify multiple values
for an argument, for example:

    -lib file1.txt file2.txt

An unconstrained repeated unflagged placeholder (see L<Placeholder constraints>
and L<Unflagged placeholders>) will consume the rest of the command-line, and
so should be specified last in the POD

    =item -n <name>

    =item <offset>...

    =for Euclid:
        offset.type: 0+int

and on the command-line:

    -n foobar 1 5 0 23

If a placeholder is repeated, the corresponding entry in C<%ARGV>
will then be an array reference, with each individual placeholder match
in a separate element. For example:

    for my $lib (@{ $ARGV{'-lib'} }) {
        add_lib($lib);
    }

    warn "First offset is: $ARGV{'<offsets>'}[0]";
    my $first_offset = shift @{ $ARGV{'<offsets>'} };

=head2 Placeholder constraints

You can specify that the value provided for a particular placeholder
must satisfy a particular set of restrictions by using a C<=for Euclid>
block. For example:

    =item -size <h>x<w>

    =for Euclid:
        h.type: integer
        w.type: integer

specifies that both the C<< <h> >> and C<< <w> >> must be given integers.
You can also specify an operator expression after the type name:

    =for Euclid:
        h.type: integer > 0
        w.type: number <= 100

specifies that C<< <h> >> has to be given an integer that is greater than zero,
and that C<< <w> >> has to be given a number (not necessarily an integer)
that is no more than 100.

These type constraints have two alternative syntaxes:

    PLACEHOLDER.type: TYPE BINARY_OPERATOR EXPRESSION

as shown above, and the more general:

    PLACEHOLDER.type: TYPE [, EXPRESSION_INVOLVING(PLACEHOLDER)]

Using the second syntax, you could write the previous constraints as:

    =for Euclid:
        h.type: integer, h > 0
        w.type: number,  w <= 100

In other words, the first syntax is just sugar for the most common case of the
second syntax. The expression can be as complex as you wish and can refer to
the placeholder as many times as necessary:

    =for Euclid:
        h.type: integer, h > 0 && h < 100
        w.type: number,  Math::is_prime(w) || w % 2 == 0

Note that the expressions are evaluated in the C<package main> namespace,
so it is important to qualify any subroutines that are not in that namespace.
Furthermore, any subroutines used must be defined (or loaded from a module)
I<before> the C<use Getopt::Euclid> statement.

You can also use constraints that involve variables. You must use the :defer
mode and the variables must be globally accessible:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw(:defer);
    our $MIN_VAL = 100;
    Getopt::Euclid->process_args(\@ARGV);

    __END__

    =head1 OPTIONS

    =over

    =item --magnitude <magnitude>

    =for Euclid
       magnitude.type: number, magnitude > $MIN_VAL

    =back


=head2 Standard placeholder types

Getopt::Euclid recognizes the following standard placeholder types:

    Name            Placeholder value...        Synonyms
    ============    ====================        ================

    integer         ...must be an integer       int    i

    +integer        ...must be a positive       +int   +i
                    integer
                    (same as: integer > 0)

    0+integer       ...must be a positive       0+int  0+i
                    integer or zero
                    (same as: integer >= 0)

    number          ...must be an number        num    n

    +number         ...must be a positive       +num   +n
                    number
                    (same as: number > 0)

    0+number        ...must be a positive       0+num  0+n
                    number or zero
                    (same as: number >= 0)

    string          ...may be any string        str    s
                    (default type)

    readable        ...must be the name         input  in
                    of a readable file

    writeable       ...must be the name         writable output out
                    of a writeable file
                    (or of a non-existent
                    file in a writeable
                    directory)
                    
    /<regex>/       ...must be a string
                    matching the specified
                    pattern

Since regular expressions are supported, you can easily match many more type of
strings for placeholders by using the regular expressions available in Regexp::Common.
If you do that, you may want to also use custom placeholder error messages (see
L<Placeholder type errors>) since the messages would otherwise not be very
informative to users.

    use Regexp::Common qw /zip/;
    use Getopt::Euclid;

    ...

    =item -p <postcode>

    Enter your postcode here

    =for Euclid:
        postcode.type:  /$RE{zip}{France}/

If a command-line argument's placeholder value does not satisify the specified
type, an error message is automatically generated. However, you can provide
your own message instead, using the C<.type.error> specifier:

    =for Euclid:
        h.type:        integer, h > 0 && h < 100
        h.type.error:  <h> must be between 0 and 100 (not h)

        w.type:        number,  Math::is_prime(w) || w % 2 == 0
        w.type.error:  Cannot use w for <w> (must be an even prime number)

Whenever an explicit error message is provided, any occurrence within
the message of the placeholder's unbracketed name is replaced by the
placeholder's value (just as in the type test itself).

=head2 Placeholder defaults

You can also specify a default value for any placeholders that are not
given values on the command-line (either because their argument is not
provided at all, or because the placeholder is optional within the argument).
For example:

    =item -size <h>[x<w>]

    Set the size of the simulation

    =for Euclid:
        h.default: 24
        w.default: 80

This ensures that if no C<< <w> >> value is supplied:

    -size 20

then C<$ARGV{'-size'}{'w'}> is set to 80. Likewise, of the C<-size> argument is
omitted entirely, both C<$ARGV{'-size'}{'h'}> and C<$ARGV{'-size'}{'w'}> are set
to their respective default values

However, Getopt::Euclid also supports a second type of default, optional defaults,
that apply only to flagged, optional placeholders.

For example:

    =item --debug [<log_level>]

    Set the log level

    =for Euclid:
        log_level.type:        int
        log_level.default:     0
        log_level.opt_default: 1

This ensures that if the option C<< --debug >> is not specified, then
C<$ARGV{'--debug'}> is set to 0, the regular default. But if no C<< <log_level> >>
value is supplied:

    --debug
    
then C<$ARGV{'--debug'}> is set to 1, the optional default.


The default value can be any valid Perl compile-time expression:

    =item -pi=<pi value>

    =for Euclid:
        pi value.default: atan2(0,-1)

You can refer to an argument default or optional default value in its POD entry
as shown below:

    =item -size <h>[x<w>]

    Set the size of the simulation [default: h.default x w.default]

    =for Euclid:
        h.default: 24
        w.default: 80

    =item --debug <level>
   
    Set the debug level. The default is level.default if you supply --debug but
    omit a <level> value.

    =for Euclid:
        level.opt_default: 3

Just like for L<Placeholder constraints>, you can also use variables to define
default values. You must use the :defer mode and the variables must be globally
accessible:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw(:defer);
    Getopt::Euclid->process_args(\@ARGV);

    __END__

    =head1 OPTIONS

    =over

    =item --home <home>

    Your project home. When omitted, this defaults to the location stored in
    the HOME environment variable.

    =for Euclid
       home.default: $ENV{'HOME'}

    =back

=head2 Exclusive placeholders

Some arguments can be mutually exclusive. In this case, it is possible to
specify that a placeholder excludes a list of other placeholders, for example:

    =item -height <h>

    Set the desired height

    =item -width <w>

    Set the desired width

    =item -volume <v>

    Set the desired volume

    =for Euclid:
        v.excludes: h, w
        v.excludes.error: Either set the volume or the height and weight

Specifying both placeholders at the same time on the command-line will
generate an error. Note that the error message can be customized, as
illustrated above.

When using exclusive arguments that have default values, the default value of
the placeholder with the .excludes statement has precedence over any other
placeholders.

=head2 Argument cuddling

Getopt::Euclid allows any "flag" argument to be "cuddled". A flag
argument consists of a single non- alphanumeric character, followed by a
single alpha-numeric character:

    =item -v

    =item -x

    =item +1

    =item =z

Cuddling means that two or more such arguments can be concatenated after a
single common non-alphanumeric. For example:

    -vx

Note, however, that only flags with the same leading non-alphanumeric can be
cuddled together. Getopt::Euclid would not allow:

    -vxz

This is because cuddling is recognized by progressively removing the second
character of the cuddle. In other words:

    -vxz

becomes:

    -v -xz

which becomes:

    -v -x z

which will fail, unless a C<z> argument has also been specified.

On the other hand, if the argument:

    =item -e <cmd>

had been specified, the module I<would> accept:

    -vxe'print time'

as a cuddled version of:

    -v -x -e'print time'

=head2 Exporting option variables

By default, the module only stores arguments into the global %ARGV hash.
You can request that options are exported as variables into the calling package
using the special C<':vars'> specifier:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw( :vars );

That is, if your program accepts the following arguments:

    -v
    --mode <modename>
    <infile>
    <outfile>
    --auto-fudge <factor>      (repeatable)
    --also <a>...
    --size <w>x<h>
    --multiply <num1>x<num2>   (repeatable)

Then these variables will be exported

    $ARGV_v
    $ARGV_mode
    $ARGV_infile
    $ARGV_outfile
    @ARGV_auto_fudge
    @ARGV_also
    %ARGV_size          # With entries $ARGV_size{w} and $ARGV_size{h}
    @ARGV_multiply      # With entries that are hashref similar to \%ARGV_size

For options that have multiple variants, only the longest variant is exported.

The type of variable exported (scalar, hash, or array) is determined by the
type of the corresponding value in C<%ARGV>. Command-line flags and arguments
that take single values will produce scalars, arguments that take multiple
values will produce hashes, and repeatable arguments will produce arrays.

If you do not like the default prefix of "ARGV_", you can specify your own,
such as "opt_", like this:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw( :vars<opt_> );

The major advantage of using exported variables is that any misspelling of
argument variables in your code will be caught at compile-time by
C<use strict>.

=head2 Standard arguments

Getopt::Euclid automatically provides four standard arguments to any
program that uses the module. The behaviours of these arguments are "hard-
wired" and cannot be changed, not even by defining your own arguments of
the same name.

The standard arguments are:

=over

=item --usage  usage()

The --usage argument causes the program to print a short usage summary and exit.
The C<Getopt::Euclid->usage()> subroutine provides access to the string of this
message.

=item --help  help()

The --help argument causes the program to take a longer usage summary (with
a full list of required and optional arguments) provided in POD format by
C<help()>, convert it to plaintext, display it and exit. The message is paged
using IO::Pager::Page (or IO::Page) if possible.

=item --man  man()

The --man argument causes the program to take the POD documentation for
the program, provided by C<man()>, convert it to plaintext, display it and
exit. The message is paged using IO::Pager::Page (or IO::Page) if possible.

=item --podfile  podfile()

The --podfile argument is provided for authors. It causes the program to take
the POD manual from C<man()>, write it in a .pod file with the same base name
as the program, display the name of the output file and exit. These actions can
also be executed by calling the C<podfile()> subroutine.This argument is not
really a standard argument, but it is useful if the program's POD is to be
passed to a POD converter because, among other things, any default value
specified is interpolated and replaced by its value in the .pod file, contrary
to in the program's .pl file.

If you want to automate the creation of a POD file during the build process, you
can edit you Makefile.PL or Build.PL file and add these lines:

   my @args = ($^X, '-Ilib', '/path/to/script', '--podfile');
   system(@args) == 0 or die "System call to '@args' failed:\n$?\n";

If you use L<Module::Install> to bundle your script, you might be interested in
using L<Module::Install::PodFromEuclid> to include the --podfile step into the
installation process.

=item --version  version()

The --version argument causes the program to print the version number of the
program (as specified in the C<=head1 VERSION> section of the POD) and
any copyright information (as specified in the C<=head1 COPYRIGHT>
POD section) and then exit. The C<Getopt::Euclid->version()> subroutine provides
access to the string of this message.

=back

=head2 Minimalist keys

By default, the keys of C<%ARGV> will match the program's interface
exactly. That is, if your program accepts the following arguments:

    -v
    --mode <modename>
    <infile>
    <outfile>
    --auto-fudge

Then the keys that appear in C<%ARGV> will be:

    '-v'
    '--mode'
    '<infile>'
    '<outfile>'
    '--auto-fudge'

In some cases, however, it may be preferable to have Getopt::Euclid set
up those hash keys without "decorations". That is, to have the keys of
C<%ARGV> be simply:

    'v'
    'mode'
    'infile'
    'outfile'
    'auto_fudge'

You can arrange this by loading the module with the special C<':minimal_keys'>
specifier:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw( :minimal_keys );

Note that, in rare cases, using this mode may cause you to lose
data (for example, if the interface specifies both a C<--step> and
a C<< <step> >> option). The module throws an exception if this happens.

=head2 Deferring argument parsing

In some instances, you may want to avoid the parsing of arguments to take place
as soon as your program is executed and Getopt::Euclid is loaded. For example,
you may need to examine C<@ARGV> before it is processed (and emptied) by
Getopt::Euclid. Or you may intend to pass your own arguments manually only
using C<process_args()>.

To defer the parsing of arguments, use the specifier C<':defer'>:

    use Getopt::Euclid qw( :defer );
    # Do something...
    Getopt::Euclid->process_args(\@ARGV);

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=head2 Compile-time diagnostics

The following diagnostics are mainly caused by problems in the POD
specification of the command-line interface:

=over

=item Getopt::Euclid was unable to access POD

Something is horribly wrong. Getopt::Euclid was unable to read your
program to extract the POD from it. Check your program's permissions,
though it is a mystery how I<perl> was able to run the program in the
first place, if it is not readable.

=item .pm file cannot define an explicit import() when using Getopt::Euclid

You tried to define an C<import()> subroutine in a module that was also
using Getopt::Euclid. Since the whole point of using Getopt::Euclid in a
module is to have it build an C<import()> for you, supplying your own
C<import()> as well defeats the purpose.

=item Unknown specification: %s

You specified something in a C<=for Euclid> section that
Getopt::Euclid did not understand. This is often caused by typos, or by
reversing a I<placeholder>.I<type> or I<placeholder>.I<default>
specification (that is, writing I<type>.I<placeholder> or
I<default>.I<placeholder> instead).

=item Unknown type (%s) in specification: %s

=item Unknown .type constraint: %s

Both these errors mean that you specified a type constraint that
Getopt::Euclid did not recognize. This may have been a typo:

    =for Euclid
        count.type: inetger

or else the module simply does not know about the type you specified:

    =for Euclid
        count.type: complex

See L<Standard placeholder types> for a list of types that Getopt::Euclid
I<does> recognize.

=item Invalid .type constraint: %s

You specified a type constraint that is not valid Perl. For example:

    =for Euclid
        max.type: integer not equals 0

instead of:

    =for Euclid
        max.type: integer != 0

=item Invalid .default value: %s

You specified a default value that is not valid Perl. For example:

    =for Euclid
        curse.default: *$@!&

instead of:

    =for Euclid
        curse.default: '*$@!&'

=item Invalid .opt_default value: %s

Same as previous diagnostic, but for optional defaults.

=item Invalid reference to field %s.default in argument description: %s

You referred to a default value in the description of an argument, but there
is no such default. It may be a typo, or you may be referring to the default
value for a different argument, e.g.:

    =item -a <age>

    An optional age. Default: years.default

    =for Euclid
        age.default: 21

instead of:

    =item -a <age>

    An optional age. Default: age.default

    =for Euclid
        age.default: 21

=item Invalid reference to field %s.opt_default in argument description: %s

Same as previous diagnostic, but for optional defaults.

=item Invalid .opt_default constraint: Placeholder <%s> must be optional

You specified an optional default but the placeholder that it affects is not an
optional placeholder. For example:

    =item  -l[[en][gth]] <l>

    =for Euclid:
        l.opt_default: 123

instead of:

    =item  -l[[en][gth]] [<l>]

    =for Euclid:
        l.opt_default: 123


=item Invalid .opt_default constraint: Parameter %s must have a flag

You specified an optional default but the parameter that it affects is
unflagged. For example:

    =item  <length>

    =for Euclid:
        l.opt_default: 123

instead of:

    =item  -l [<length>]

    =for Euclid:
        l.opt_default: 123

=item Invalid .excludes value for variable %s: <%s> does not exist

You specified to exclude a variable that was not seen in the POD. Make sure
that this is not a typo.

=item Invalid constraint: %s (No <%s> placeholder in argument: %s)

You attempted to define a C<.type> constraint for a placeholder that
did not exist. Typically this is the result of the misspelling of a
placeholder name:

    =item -foo <bar>

    =for Euclid:
        baz.type: integer

or a C<=for Euclid:> that has drifted away from its argument:

    =item -foo <bar>

    =item -verbose

    =for Euclid:
        bar.type: integer

=item Getopt::Euclid loaded a second time

You tried to load the module twice in the same program.
Getopt::Euclid does not work that way. Load it only once.

=item Unknown mode ('%s')

The only argument that a C<use Getopt::Euclid> command accepts is
C<':minimal_keys'> (see L<Minimalist keys>). You specified something
else instead (or possibly forgot to put a semicolon after C<use
Getopt::Euclid>).

=item Internal error: minimalist mode caused arguments '%s' and '%s' to clash

Minimalist mode removes certain characters from the keys hat are
returned in C<%ARGV>. This can mean that two command-line options (such
as C<--step> and C<< <step> >>) map to the same key (i.e. C<'step'>).
This in turn means that one of the two options has overwritten the other
within the C<%ARGV> hash. The program developer should either turn off
C<':minimal_keys'> mode within the program, or else change the name of
one of the options so that the two no longer clash.

=back

=head2 Run-time diagnostics

The following diagnostics are caused by problems in parsing the command-line

=over 

=item Missing required argument(s): %s

At least one argument specified in the C<REQUIRED ARGUMENTS> POD section
was not present on the command-line.

=item Invalid %s argument. %s must be %s but the supplied value (%s) is not.

Getopt::Euclid recognized the argument you were trying to specify on the
command-line, but the value you gave to one of that argument's placeholders
was of the wrong type.

=item Unknown argument: %s

Getopt::Euclid did not recognize an argument you were trying to specify on the
command-line. This is often caused by command-line typos or an incomplete
interface specification.
