  <title>Getopt::Long Replacement supporting an optional GUI</title>
  <description>This module is a wrapper around Getopt::Long that extends the value of the
original Getopt::Long module to:

1) add a simple graphical user interface option screen if no arguments are
passed to the program.  Thus, the arguments to actually use are built based on
the results of the user interface. If arguments were passed to the program, the
user interface is not shown and the program executes as it normally would and
acts just as if Getopt::Long::GetOptions had been called instead.

2) provide an auto-help mechanism such that -h and --help are handled
automatically.  In fact, calling your program with -h will default to showing
the user a list of short-style arguments when one exists for the option.
Similarly --help will show the user a list of long-style when possible.
--help-full will list all potential arguments for an option (short and long
both).

It's designed to make the creation of graphical shells trivial without the
programmer having to think about it much as well as providing automatic
good-looking usage output without the programmer needing to write usage()
functions.
