在我们使用别人写好的程序时,经常会使用-h 之类的东西查看一下简单的帮助手册或者说明信息;

对于perl 语言而言,写起来简单,经常随手一写,解决了当时的问题,但是过几天去看,你都不知道这个脚本该怎么调用,是用来做什么的;

为了避免这样的情况,对于常用的脚本,有必要提供较为清晰的帮助文档。

在perl 里面,官方提供了这样的注释手段,看下面的代码示例

=pod

=head1 NAME

L<Transdecoder.LongOrfs|http://transdecoder.github.io> - Transcriptome Protein Prediction

=head1 USAGE

Required:

 -t <string>                            transcripts.fasta

Optional:

 --gene_trans_map <string>              gene-to-transcript identifier mapping file (tab-delimited, gene_id<tab>trans_id<return> )

 -m <int>                               minimum protein length (default: )

 -G <string>                            genetic code (default: universal; see PerlDoc; options: Euplotes, Tetrahymena, Candida, Acetabularia)

 -S                                     strand-specific (only analyzes top strand)

=head1 Genetic Codes

See L<http://golgi.harvard.edu/biolinks/gencode.html>. These are currently supported:

 universal (default)
Euplotes
Tetrahymena
Candida
Acetabularia
Mitochondrial-Canonical
Mitochondrial-Vertebrates
Mitochondrial-Arthropods
Mitochondrial-Echinoderms
Mitochondrial-Molluscs
Mitochondrial-Ascidians
Mitochondrial-Nematodes
Mitochondrial-Platyhelminths
Mitochondrial-Yeasts
Mitochondrial-Euascomycetes
Mitochondrial-Protozoans =cut

=pod 到 =cut 之间的内容是帮助信息,这些信息显示到屏幕上时是这样的

有表头部分,格式上也很整齐,通过=head1 , =pod , =cut 这几个小标签,我们只需要关注内容,就可以写出格式整齐,阅读良好的帮助信息

use Pod::Usage;

pod2usage(-verbose => , -output => \*STDERR) if ($help);

通过使用Pod::Usage 模块,加可以将写好的上述格式的注释,方便的显示在屏幕上,结合if 等判断语句,自定义触发条件;
