NAME
       AppConfig::Args - Perl5 module for reading command line arguments.

SYNOPSIS
           use AppConfig::Args;

           my $state   = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg);
           my $cfgargs = AppConfig::Args->new($state);

           $cfgargs->parse(\@args);            # read args

OVERVIEW
       AppConfig::Args is a Perl5 module which reads command line arguments and uses the options
       therein to update variable values in an AppConfig::State object.

       AppConfig::File is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.

DESCRIPTION
   USING THE AppConfig::Args MODULE
       To import and use the AppConfig::Args module the following line should appear in your Perl
       script:

           use AppConfig::Args;

       AppConfig::Args is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an
       AppConfig::Args object through the parse() method.

       AppConfig::File is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new AppConfig::Args
       object is created and initialised using the new() method.  This returns a reference to a
       new AppConfig::File object.  A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in
       as the first parameter:

           my $state   = AppConfig::State->new();
           my $cfgargs = AppConfig::Args->new($state);

       This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::Args object.

   PARSING COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
       The "parse()" method is used to read a list of command line arguments and update the STATE
       accordingly.  A reference to the list of arguments should be passed in.

           $cfgargs->parse(\@ARGV);

       If the method is called without a reference to an argument list then it will examine and
       manipulate @ARGV.

       If the PEDANTIC option is turned off in the AppConfig::State object, any parsing errors
       (invalid variables, unvalidated values, etc) will generate warnings, but not cause the
       method to return.  Having processed all arguments, the method will return 1 if processed
       without warning or 0 if one or more warnings were raised.  When the PEDANTIC option is
       turned on, the method generates a warning and immediately returns a value of 0 as soon as
       it encounters any parsing error.

       The method continues parsing arguments until it detects the first one that does not start
       with a leading dash, '-'.  Arguments that constitute values for other options are not
       examined in this way.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
       This module was developed to provide backwards compatibility (to some degree) with the
       preceeding App::Config module.  The argument parsing it provides is basic but offers a
       quick and efficient solution for those times when simple option handling is all that is
       required.

       If you require more flexibility in parsing command line arguments, then you should
       consider using the AppConfig::Getopt module.  This is loaded and used automatically by
       calling the AppConfig getopt() method.

       The AppConfig::Getopt module provides considerably extended functionality over the
       AppConfig::Args module by delegating out the task of argument parsing to Johan Vromans'
       Getopt::Long module.  For advanced command-line parsing, this module (either Getopt::Long
       by itself, or in conjunction with AppConfig::Getopt) is highly recommended.
