=head1 NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::EasyArgv

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::EasyArgv;

  my $db = get_ens_db_from_argv;    # this method is exported.

  use Getopt::Long;

  my $others;
  &GetOptions( 'others=s' => \$others );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a lazy but easy way to get the db-related arguments. All you
need to do is to invoke get_ens_db_from_argv before using standard
Getopt. The below options will be absorbed and removed from @ARGV.

db_file, host, db_host, dbhost, user, db_user, dbuser, pass, db_pass,
dbpass, dbname, db_name.

Now you can take advantage of Perl's do method to execute a file as perl
script and get returned the last line of it. For your most accessed db
setting, you can have a file named, say, ensdb_homo_core_18.perlobj,
with the content like

  use strict;    # The ceiling line

  use Bio::EnsEMBL::DBSQL::DBAdaptor;

  my $db = Bio::EnsEMBL::DBSQL::DBAdaptor->new(
    -host   => 'ensembldb.ensembl.org',
    -user   => 'anonymous',
    -dbname => 'homo_sapiens_core_18_34'
  );

  $db;           # The floor line

In the your command line, you just need to write like 

  perl my_script.pl -db_file ensdb_homo_core_18.perlobj

rather than the verbose

  -host ensembldb.ensembl.org -user anonymous \
  -dbname homo_sapiens_core_18_34
