         # you need a package:
         package Catmandu::Cmd::hello_world;
         use parent 'Catmandu::Cmd';

         sub command_opt_spec {
            (

         sub command {
            my ($self, $opts, $args) = @_;

DESCRIPTION

       Catmandu:Cmd is a base class to extend the commands that can be provided for the
       'catmandu' command line tools.  New catmandu commands should be defined in the
       Catmandu::Cmd namespace and extend Catmandu::Cmd.

       Every command needs to implement 4 things:

         * command_opt_spec - which should return an array of command options with documentation
         * description - a long description of the command
         * command - the body which is executed
         * head1 NAME - a short description of the command

METHODS

   log()
       Access to the logger

   command_opt_spec()
       This method should be overridden to provide option specifications. (This is list of
       arguments passed to describe_options from Getopt::Long::Descriptive, after the first.)

       If not overridden, it returns an empty list.

   description()
       This method should return a string containing the long documentation of the command

   command()
       This method does whatever it is the command should do! It is passed a hash reference of
       the parsed command-line options and an array reference of left over arguments.

DOCUMENTATION

       At least provide for every command a NAME documentation
