# 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.

# 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.
