allow-no zef:lizmat last updated on 2022-08-03

NAME

allow-no - provide %*SUB-MAIN-OPTS for older Rakudos

SYNOPSIS

use allow-no;

sub MAIN(:$foo, :$bar) {
    # calling script with --foo, --no-bar
    say $foo;  # True
    say $bar;  # False
}

DESCRIPTION

The allow-no module provides functionality that has been provided by Rakudo 2022.08 and higher: it allows command line parameters to indicate a False flag to be specified as --no-foo as well as the standard allowed --/foo or --foo-False.

Using this module will run an INIT block that will perform the necessary transformation on @*ARGS. No further action or configuration is needed.
