# This is a (working) example of how to write a helper routine for
# Getopt::Long to deal with specific cases.
#
# The basic principle is:
#   - specify the option type to be string
#   - specify a code reference to handle the parsing an assignment.
#
# This example parses time specifications in the form HH:MM:SS.mmm, where
# unneeded parts may be left out.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Getopt::Long;

# The helper routine. It will be called to handle the actual delivery
# of the option value.
# There are two parameters: the option name, and the value to be
# assigned.
# Note the use of 'die' to signal errors back to Getopt::Long.

sub parsetime {
    my ($opt_name, $opt_value) = @_;
    my $val = 0;

	^		# beginning of value string
	(?:(\d+):)?	# hours
	(?:(\d+):)?	# minutes
	(\d+(?:\.\d+)?)	# seconds + fraction
	$		# end of value string
	/x ) {
	die("Value \"$opt_value\" invalid for option $opt_name\n");
    }
