Getopt::Tabular is a Perl 5 module for table-driven argument parsing,
vaguely inspired by John Ousterhout's Tk_ParseArgv. All you really need
to do to use the package is set up a table describing all your
command-line options, and call &GetOptions with three arguments: a
reference to your option table, a reference to @ARGV (or something like
it), and an optional third array reference (say, to @newARGV).
&GetOptions will process all arguments in @ARGV, and copy any leftover
arguments (i.e. those that are not options or arguments to some option)
to the @newARGV array. (If the @newARGV argument is not supplied,
GetOptions will replace @ARGV with the stripped-down argument list.) If
there are any invalid options, GetOptions will print an error message
and return 0.

If you have local Perl set up and override the "install base" parameter
through the $PERL_MB_OPT or $PERL_MM_OPT variables then the build will
fail.
