A Month of Getopt: 31 Modules in 20 Minutes - Aaron Crane
Friday, The Morgan Stanley Room, 1120, 20 mins

There are (at least) 31 distributions in CPAN's Getopt::* namespace - one for every day of the month. Which should you use? Choosing one involves examining all of the available modules in some depth, so you'll be glad to hear that I've done all that work for you. This is a breakneck-pace romp through all of the Getopt modules, looking at why you might want to pick one of them over all the others. Expect to be surprised by the conclusions!
