The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Getargs::Mixed DSLIP: adpfp description: Mixed positional/named parameter processor userid: HANENKAMP (Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp) chapterid: 12 (Opt_Arg_Param_Proc) communities:
similar: Getargs::Long Getopt::GetArgs rationale: Very similar to the modules Getargs::Long and Getopt::GetArgs, but provides a very simple interface, provides no "type-checking", and allows for positonal and named parameters to be mixed. It is somewhat inspired by the way in which CGI takes parameters, but can mix parameter types. So, a function using Getargs::Mixed can do: foo($x, $y, $z); # or foo($x, -z => $z, -y => $y); # or foo(-z => $z, -x => $x, -y => $y); This style is slightly borrowed from Perl 6 parameter passing ideas, but is, of course, much weaker. The namespace made sense since Getargs::Long is already using the Getargs root NS and does something very similar. Getopt::GetArgs seems like a misnomer, so emulating its naming seemed a poor choice. enteredby: HANENKAMP (Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp) enteredon: Wed Sep 3 19:37:29 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: Getargs:: ::Mixed adpfp Mixed positional/named parameter processor HANENKAMP Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=36400000_468efc00acd81fd4&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=36400000_468efc00acd81fd4&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
