It also does additional validation of arguments, when the program is actually executed, based on completion lists. . Support is also present for apps which are an entry point for a hierarchy of sub-commands (in the style of cvs and git). . Getopt::Complete also wraps the standard options processing and exports it as a %ARGS hash at compile time, making using the arguments hassle-free. . The completion features currently work with the bash shell, which is the default on most Linux and Mac systems. Patches for other shells are welcome.
