| Subject: | parameter values conflicting with parameter names |
Let's assume that we've got 2 parameters defined in the declaration:
test <test>
map <map>
Unfortunately there's a map called "testmap". So my command line looks like:
./script.pl map testmap
The result of Getopt::Declare's parsing however is
test=map
Why? That's easy: test has 4 characters and map only 3 characters. The priorization of Getopt::Declare favors longer parameters over shorter ones. How to fix that?
I want to suggest to enhance Getopt::Declare with a parameter for the declaration that forces one (or more) space between the parameter name and its value. Something like:
[space]
Or if this feature correlates with disabling the smart parsing of squeezed parameters (I mean "-a -b == -ab") it might also be called
[no-smart-parsing]
Of course I also appreciate any hint of how to fix my problem with the current features of Getopt::Declare.
