Hi, I'd like to release my module AppConfig::Std to CPAN. This is a subclass of Andy Wardley's AppConfig module (for defining and handling config parameters, from the command-line, config file, etc). The idea is to provide some basic standardisation for perl scripts. It defines and handles 5 standard options: -help display OPTIONS part of inline doc -doc display all inline doc -version display version of script -verbose turn on verbose status/progress reporting -debug turn on debugging output It uses Pod::Usage to implement the -help and -doc options. I mailed about it to module-authors, and got one response, essentially "sounds good to me", from John Porter. Andy's happy with this. In terms of DSLI it's currently bdpO, but once released would be RdpO :-) If I hear nothing, I'll assume you've no objections and upload it.
