Xref: usenet.cis.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:129 comp.lang.perl.misc:6932 Hi, I am using a subroutine which handles options which uses an 'Option Table' in the running program. It reads the program where it belongs to and assigns values to vars according to the table. So, it is a matter of editing the option table to handle any combination of options. I find this useful and want to see if it is the case for others. It is in ftp.mrc-cpe.cam.ac.uk /pub/jong/perl with the name of easy_opt.pl. Just type 'easy_opt.pl a' to get some idea. Welcome criticism and comments. Thanks Jong .
