I'd appreciate some advice here.

Getopt::Auto was conceived by Simon Cozens. I've recently adopted it.

The idea with Getopt::Auto is that it scans your POD looking for =heads 
or =item that have the format: 'foo - what this does is bar', the 
single word followed by a dash being the critical parts, and constructs 
an option-recognition scheme for foo.

All this is well and good, but it seems to me that there's a flaw, 
which is that there's no way to say that foo takes a string, or int, or
...

So that needs to be specified, and while 'foo - ....' is probably 
acceptable to the POD writer, 'foo int - ...' might be less so, taking 
into account that all of that appears in your POD's paragraph headings.

Or am I wrong? Perhaps there's a better way?

Thanks.
