NAME

App::Cmdline::Options::ExtDB - extended set of database-related options for command-line applications

VERSION

version 0.1.2

SYNOPSIS

# In your module that represents a command-line application:
sub opt_spec {
    my $self = shift;
    return $self->check_for_duplicates (
        [ 'check|c' => "only check the configuration"  ],
        ...,
        $self->composed_of (
            'App::Cmdline::Options::ExtDB',  # here are the database options added
            'App::Cmdline::Options::Basic',  # here may be other options
        )
    );
 }

DESCRIPTION

This is a kind of a role module, defining a particular set of command-line options and their validation. See more about how to write a module that represents a command-line application and that uses this set of options in App::Cmdline.

OPTIONS

Particularly, this module extends the basic database-related options, adding an option for showing how the database options have been set. It inherits from App::Cmdline::Options::DB module, and, therefore, provides the same options defined there, and it adds the following option:

[ 'dbshow' => "show database access properties"  ],

--dbshow

It prints (on STDOUT) values given to the database-related options. For example:

senger@ShereKhan2:myapp --dbshow --dbname Emma --dbpasswd vrrr -dbhost 12.13.14.15
DBNAME: Emma
DBHOST: 12.13.14.15
DBPORT: 3306
DBUSER: reader
DBPASS: ...given but not shown
DBSOCK: n/a
