Do you have any examples of interspersed POD and options. Reason I ask
is it is quite hard (IMHO) to get the format of these things such that
it is readable whether you are looking for POD or for code.
Personally I am prejudiced about inline POD but I am prepared to be
persuaded.
In reply to other points (thanks Nik and Chisel)
- Getopt::Clade seems to be vapourware
- Getopt::Euclid looks promising but really needs to be used from the
start.
- I prefer options that don't require installation on the target
machine.
