Package: libgetopt-mixed-perl
Version: 1.008-10
Severity: minor

This is a great package. However, the manpage doesn't explain what
happens to a string argument that contains whitespace. I found by
experiment that:

--myoption="argument that contains whitespace"

does the right thing and passes the complete string as the argument to
myoption. However, it's not clear from the documentation whether that
will happen or

"argument

will be the string passed in instead (the documentation does talk about
whitespace after the option but that's not quite the same thing).

Thanks for your work on this package.

Regards,
Andrew.
