The first public version of AppConfig::Std is now on CPAN:

        http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/NEILB/AppConfig-Std-1.03.tar.gz

This is a subclass of AppConfig - Andy Wardley's module for handling script 
configuration parameters, from the command-line, config files, etc.

AppConfig::Std defines five standard options for a script, and handles them if 
they're used:

        -help           display the OPTIONS section of a script's pod
        -doc            display all of the script's inline doc
        -version        display the version of the script
        -verbose        turn on verbose progress / status reporting
        -debug          turn on debugging output

Pod::Usage is used for the -help and -doc options. It expects that your 
script's pod is well-formed and follows appropriate conventions. See perlpod 
and pod2man for more details.
