;# getopts.pl - a better getopt.pl
#
# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
#
# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
# programming techniques.
#
# Suggested alternatives: Getopt::Long or Getopt::Std
#
;# Usage:
;# do Getopts('a:bc'); # -a takes arg. -b & -c not. Sets opt_* as a
;# # side effect.
