NAME

       CLI::Framework::Command::Meta - Represent "metacommands" (app-aware commands)

DESCRIPTION

       This class is a subclass of CLI::Framework::Command.  It defines "metacommands", commands
       that are application-aware (and thus, implicitly aware of all other commands registered
       within the application).  Metacommands have methods that set and retrieve a reference to
       the application within which they are running.

       This class exists as a separate class because, with few exceptions, commands should be
       independent of the application they are associated with and should not affect that
       application.  Metacommands represent the exception to that rule.  In the exceptional
       cases, your command will inherit from this one instead of "CLI::Framework::Command".

WHEN TO BUILD METACOMMANDS VS REGULAR COMMANDS

       See tutorial advice on this topic.

METHODS

   get_app() / set_app( $app )
       Retrieve or set the application object associated with a metacommand object.

           $app = $command->get_app();

           $command->set_app( $app );
