Subject: why is stripped out "\n" from $usage_desc?
why is "\n" stripped out from $usage_desc? because I cannot simple put string with description like: "%c %o\n\n This script returns number of users\n" To generate usage message: myscript.pl [-h] This script returns number of users Options: -h --help Show usage message -- Is there any simple way to put "description" into usage (without overriding classes etc.) Tomas

Looks like the culprit is line 160 of lib/Getopt/Long/Descriptive.pm: 159 (my $str = $format) =~ s/%(.)/$replace{$1}/ge; 160 $str =~ s/\s{2,}/ /g; \s{2,} will apparently match newlines as well as spaces. I'm sure that this regular expression can be tweaked a bit so that consecutive spaces are consolidated into one, but newlines are preserved.
