+=head1 NAME
+
+Term::UI - Term::ReadLine UI made easy
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Term::UI;
+ use Term::ReadLine;
+
+ my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('brand');
+
+ my $reply = $term->get_reply(
+ prompt => 'What is your favourite colour?',
+ choices => [qw|blue red green|],
+ default => blue,
+ );
+
+ my $bool = $term->ask_yn(
+ prompt => 'Do you like cookies?',
+ default => 'y',
+ );
+
+
+ my $string = q[some_command -option --no-foo --quux='this thing'];
+
+ my ($options,$munged_input) = $term->parse_options($string);
+
+
+ ### don't have Term::UI issue warnings -- default is '1'
+ $Term::UI::VERBOSE = 0;
+
+ ### always pick the default (good for non-interactive terms)
+ ### -- default is '0'
+ $Term::UI::AUTOREPLY = 1;
+
+ ### Retrieve the entire session as a printable string:
+ $hist = Term::UI::History->history_as_string;
+ $hist = $term->history_as_string;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<Term::UI> is a transparent way of eliminating the overhead of having
+to format a question and then validate the reply, informing the user
+if the answer was not proper and re-issuing the question.
+
+Simply give it the question you want to ask, optionally with choices
+the user can pick from and a default and C<Term::UI> will DWYM.
+
+For asking a yes or no question, there's even a shortcut.
+
+=head1 HOW IT WORKS
+
+C<Term::UI> places itself at the back of the C<Term::ReadLine>
+C<@ISA> array, so you can call its functions through your term object.
+
+C<Term::UI> uses C<Term::UI::History> to record all interactions
+with the commandline. You can retrieve this history, or alter
+the filehandle the interaction is printed to. See the
+C<Term::UI::History> manpage or the C<SYNOPSIS> for details.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 $reply = $term->get_reply( prompt => 'question?', [choices => \@list, default => $list[0], multi => BOOL, print_me => "extra text to print & record", allow => $ref] );
+
+C<get_reply> asks a user a question, and then returns the reply to the
+caller. If the answer is invalid (more on that below), the question will
+be reposed, until a satisfactory answer has been entered.
+
+You have the option of providing a list of choices the user can pick from
+using the C<choices> argument. If the answer is not in the list of choices
+presented, the question will be reposed.
+
+If you provide a C<default> answer, this will be returned when either
+C<$AUTOREPLY> is set to true, (see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section further
+below), or when the user just hits C<enter>.
+
+You can indicate that the user is allowed to enter multiple answers by
+toggling the C<multi> flag. Note that a list of answers will then be
+returned to you, rather than a simple string.
+
+By specifying an C<allow> hander, you can yourself validate the answer
+a user gives. This can be any of the types that the Params::Check C<allow>
+function allows, so please refer to that manpage for details.
+
+Finally, you have the option of adding a C<print_me> argument, which is
+simply printed before the prompt. It's printed to the same file handle
+as the rest of the questions, so you can use this to keep track of a
+full session of Q&A with the user, and retrieve it later using the
+C<< Term::UI->history_as_string >> function.
+
+See the C<EXAMPLES> section for samples of how to use this function.

+=head2 ($opts, $munged) = $term->parse_options( STRING );
+
+C<parse_options> will convert all options given from an input string
+to a hash reference. If called in list context it will also return
+the part of the input string that it found no options in.
+
+Consider this example:
+
+ my $str = q[command --no-foo --baz --bar=0 --quux=bleh ] .
+ q[--option="some'thing" -one-dash -single=blah' arg];
+
+ my ($options,$munged) = $term->parse_options($str);
+
+ ### $options would contain: ###
+ $options = {
+ 'foo' => 0,
+ 'bar' => 0,
+ 'one-dash' => 1,
+ 'baz' => 1,
+ 'quux' => 'bleh',
+ 'single' => 'blah\'',
+ 'option' => 'some\'thing'
+ };
+
+ ### and this is the munged version of the input string,
+ ### ie what's left of the input minus the options
+ $munged = 'command arg';
+
+As you can see, you can either use a single or a double C<-> to
+indicate an option.
+If you prefix an option with C<no-> and do not give it a value, it
+will be set to 0.
+If it has no prefix and no value, it will be set to 1.
+Otherwise, it will be set to its value. Note also that it can deal
+fine with single/double quoting issues.

+
+=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES
+
+The behaviour of Term::UI can be altered by changing the following
+global variables:
+
+=head2 $Term::UI::VERBOSE
+
+This controls whether Term::UI will issue warnings and explanations
+as to why certain things may have failed. If you set it to 0,
+Term::UI will not output any warnings.
+The default is 1;
+
+=head2 $Term::UI::AUTOREPLY
+
+This will make every question be answered by the default, and warn if
+there was no default provided. This is particularly useful if your
+program is run in non-interactive mode.
+The default is 0;
+
+=head2 $Term::UI::INVALID
+
+This holds the string that will be printed when the user makes an
+invalid choice.
+You can override this string from your program if you, for example,
+wish to do localization.
+The default is C<Invalid selection, please try again: >
+
+=head2 $Term::UI::History::HISTORY_FH
+
+This is the filehandle all the print statements from this module
+are being sent to. Please consult the C<Term::UI::History> manpage
+for details.
+
+This defaults to C<*STDOUT>.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+=head2 Basic get_reply sample
+
+ ### ask a user (with an open question) for their favourite colour
+ $reply = $term->get_reply( prompt => 'Your favourite colour? );
+
+which would look like:
+
+ Your favourite colour?
+
+and C<$reply> would hold the text the user typed.
+
+=head2 get_reply with choices
+
+ ### now provide a list of choices, so the user has to pick one
+ $reply = $term->get_reply(
+ prompt => 'Your favourite colour?',
+ choices => [qw|red green blue|] );
+
+which would look like:
+
+ 1> red
+ 2> green
+ 3> blue
+
+ Your favourite colour?
+
+C<$reply> will hold one of the choices presented. C<Term::UI> will repose
+the question if the user attempts to enter an answer that's not in the
+list of choices. The string presented is held in the C<$Term::UI::INVALID>
+variable (see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section for details.
+
+=head2 get_reply with choices and default
+
+ ### provide a sensible default option -- everyone loves blue!
+ $reply = $term->get_reply(
+ prompt => 'Your favourite colour?',
+ choices => [qw|red green blue|],
+ default => 'blue' );
+
+which would look like:
+
+ 1> red
+ 2> green
+ 3> blue
+
+ Your favourite colour? [3]:
+
+Note the default answer after the prompt. A user can now just hit C<enter>
+(or set C<$Term::UI::AUTOREPLY> -- see the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section) and
+the sensible answer 'blue' will be returned.
+
+=head2 get_reply using print_me & multi
+
+ ### allow the user to pick more than one colour and add an
+ ### introduction text
+ @reply = $term->get_reply(
+ print_me => 'Tell us what colours you like',
+ prompt => 'Your favourite colours?',
+ choices => [qw|red green blue|],
+ multi => 1 );
+
+which would look like:
+
+ Tell us what colours you like
+ 1> red
+ 2> green
+ 3> blue
+
+ Your favourite colours?
+
+An answer of C<3 2 1> would fill C<@reply> with C<blue green red>
+
+=head2 get_reply & allow
+
+ ### pose an open question, but do a custom verification on
+ ### the answer, which will only exit the question loop, if
+ ### the answer matches the allow handler.
+ $reply = $term->get_reply(
+ prompt => "What is the magic number?",
+ allow => 42 );
+
+Unless the user now enters C<42>, the question will be reposed over
+and over again. You can use more sophisticated C<allow> handlers (even
+subroutines can be used). The C<allow> handler is implemented using
+C<Params::Check>'s C<allow> function. Check its manpage for details.
+
+=head2 an elaborate ask_yn sample
+
+ ### ask a user if he likes cookies. Default to a sensible 'yes'
+ ### and inform him first what cookies are.
+ $bool = $term->ask_yn( prompt => 'Do you like cookies?',
+ default => 'y',
+ print_me => 'Cookies are LOVELY!!!' );
+
+would print:
+
+ Cookies are LOVELY!!!
+ Do you like cookies? [Y/n]:
+
+If a user then simply hits C<enter>, agreeing with the default,
+C<$bool> would be set to C<true>. (Simply hitting 'y' would also
+return C<true>. Hitting 'n' would return C<false>)
+
+We could later retrieve this interaction by printing out the Q&A
+history as follows:
+
+ print $term->history_as_string;
+
+which would then print:
+
+ Cookies are LOVELY!!!
+ Do you like cookies? [Y/n]: y
+
+There's a chance we're doing this non-interactively, because a console
+is missing, the user indicated he just wanted the defaults, etc.
+
+In this case, simply setting C<$Term::UI::AUTOREPLY> to true, will
+return from every question with the default answer set for the question.
+Do note that if C<AUTOREPLY> is true, and no default is set, C<Term::UI>
+will warn about this and return C<undef>.
