| Subject: | ! w/abbreviation processing behavior different |
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris-64int. With a boolean option like "foo!" calling with --nofoo and -n used to be equivalent. That behavior has changed in 2.33 or possibly ealier (just upgrade Getopt::Long last weekend, not sure what version I previously was using.)
The attached test script illustrates the problem.
Not sure if this was an intentional change or not. Personally, I would never have abbreviated --nofoo as -n but I guess one of my developers thought it was a good idea.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Getopt::Long;
my $opt = 1;
Getoptions( 'opt' => \$opt );
