Command line parsing module

Thanks for the answers to my previous questions.
Now, some more newbie questions…

Is there…

  1. any module to simplify command-line parsing?
    Ideally, something like Perl’s Getopt::Declare.

  2. any module to deal with either quicktime, mpeg or avi files (mainly play them)?

  3. any 3D classes ( Vector, Matrix, etc)?

  4. any module for secure shell, like Perl’s Net::SSH?

OptionParser (require ‘optparse’ in the standard library) does a great
job, and is similar, I think, to Python’s Optik.

GetoptLong (‘getoptlong’) is likely to be sorta like the Perl one.

Don’t know. Try searching raa.ruby-lang.org.

  1. any 3D classes ( Vector, Matrix, etc)?

Both of these are in the standard library (‘matrix’). See
RDoc Documentation for info on Matrix.

  1. any module for secure shell, like Perl’s Net::SSH?

Probably :slight_smile:

Take a look at online, or paperback, Pickaxe: Ruby-Doc.org: Documenting the Ruby Language
(“Document Bundle”) for pre-emptive answers to many more questions.

Cheers,
Gavin
