Description Jan Klepek 2010-03-15 20:54:24 UTC
Spec URL: http://hpejakle.fedorapeople.org/packages/perl-Getopt-Long.spec
SRPM URL: http://hpejakle.fedorapeople.org/packages/perl-Getopt-Long-2.38-1.fc11.src.rpm
Description: The Getopt::Long module implements an extended getopt function called
GetOptions(). This function adheres to the POSIX syntax for command line
options, with GNU extensions. In general, this means that options have
long names instead of single letters, and are introduced with a double
dash "--". Support for bundling of command line options, as was the case
with the more traditional single-letter approach, is provided but not
enabled by default.

Comment 1 Chris Weyl 2010-03-16 05:28:01 UTC
Getopt::Long is part of perl core; however I'm holding off on any action here pending what comes out of the discussion going on over in the fedora perl devel list.

Comment 2 Jan Klepek 2010-03-16 06:23:51 UTC
I'm sorry, I did not check if it is already as part of core, I did check pkgdb and yum (which for yum install perl-Getopt-Long, did not find anything)
which discussion? you mean about dual lived modules which was raised by Marcela?

Comment 3 Iain Arnell 2010-03-16 15:47:56 UTC
Indeed, it would be Marcela's dual lived modules thread. But you've inadvertently raised a point that we've overlooked - not all core modules have their own sub-packages. As it stands, a separate perl-Getopt-Long rpm would conflict with the existing files in the core perl rpm itself. Back to the list for some more discussion.

Comment 4 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-03-19 13:44:47 UTC
Anyway in perl-5.10.1 is the same version (2.38). Do you still need it? Perl-5.10.0 contains 2.37.
