Subject: global options and usage description
I am trying to figure out how to use global options (global_opt_spec, global_options, set_global_options). Some pod would be nice. I am trying to read dist::zilla as an example code.There is something that I consider a bug. $dzil commands dzil [-Iv] [long options...] <command> -v --verbose log additional output -I --lib-inc additional @INC dirs But dzil/App::Cmd doesn't accept options just after dzil/the script. In other words: $dzil build -v #works $dzil -v build #doesn't work

Global options are a mess, unfortunately. I think the patch adding them was greatly under-reviewed. Show quoted text

This is a related, but dumb bug. -v takes 0 or more arguments. When you say "-v build" it think that build is an argument to -v. -- rjbs
