=head1 NAME

dbcolcopylast - create new columns that are copies of prior columns

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

that is the last value for that column---that is,
the value of that column from the row before.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-e> EmptyValue or B<--empty>

Specify the value newly created columns get.

begin_standard_fsdb_options

This module also supports the standard fsdb options:

=over 4

=item B<-d>

Enable debugging output.

=item B<-i> or B<--input> InputSource

Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard input,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

=item B<-o> or B<--output> OutputDestination

Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard output,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.

=item B<--autorun> or B<--noautorun>

By default, programs process automatically,
but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke
the run() method.
The C<--(no)autorun> option controls that behavior within Perl.

=item B<--help>

Show help.

=item B<--man>

Show full manual.
