For Getopt::Long I use a much simpler approach: when the program uses the appropriate version in the 'use' statement, it gets the new features. Otherwise not. So if a program uses use Getopt::Long 2.33; it knows what it is asking for, and gets it. The same could be done for Getopt::Std: use Getopt::Std 1.04; would do the trick. -- JohanThread Previous | Thread Next
