I've also had good luck with Getopt::Euclid, which parses out options
processing out of the POD-formatted documentation for each option.

When doing Moose-based apps I've been leaning on MooseX::App::Cmd,
which ties in to App::Cmd, MooseX::Getopt, and optionally
Getopt::Long::Descriptive and MooseX::ConfigFromFile to handle
everything from option constraints, documentation, config files, and a
framework for subcommands. It's a bit over the top for lightweight
scripts, though.
