# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' 
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary
# to leave one space after the ':'.

getopt-long:
getopt-long: Getopt::Long is part of the Perl 5 distribution. It is the 
getopt-long: successor of newgetopt.pl that came with Perl 4. It is 
getopt-long: fully upward compatible. In fact, the Perl 5 version of 
getopt-long: newgetopt.pl is just a wrapper around the module.
