## DESCRIPTION

This is a version of MooseX::Getopt which converts underscores in attribute names to dashes when generating command line flags.

You can selectively disable this on a per-attribute basis by supplying a cmd\_flag argument with the command flag you'd like for a given attribute. No underscore to dash replacement will be done on the `"cmd_flag"`.
