   3 # This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
   4 # compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
   5 #
   6 # In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
   7 # programming techniques.
   8 #
   9 # Suggested alternatives: Getopt::Long or Getopt::Std
  10 #
  11 ;# Process single-character switches with switch clustering.  Pass one argument
  12 ;# which is a string containing all switches that take an argument.  For each
  13 ;# switch found, sets $opt_x (where x is the switch name) to the value of the
  14 ;# argument, or 1 if no argument.  Switches which take an argument don't care
  15 ;# whether there is a space between the switch and the argument.
  16
  17 ;# Usage:
  18 ;#      do Getopt('oDI');  # -o, -D & -I take arg.  Sets opt_* as a side effect.
