This enables option reading from files instead of or additional to the usual reading from the command line. . Alternatively, you can process any array instead of @ARGV which is used by default and mentioned mostly in this manual. . The interpolated @ARGV could be subsequently processed by the usual option handling, e.g. by a Getopt::xxx module. Getopt::ArgvFile does not perform any option handling itself, it only prepares the array @ARGV.
