DESCRIPTION

This is a version of "MouseX::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".
