+Module Getopt::Long implements an extended getopt function called
+GetOptions(). This function implements the POSIX standard for command
+line options, with GNU extensions, while still capable of handling the
+traditional one-letter options.
+
+In general, this means that command line options can have long names
+instead of single letters, and are introduced with a double dash `--'.
+
+Optionally, Getopt::Long can support the traditional bundling of
+single-letter command line options.
