NAME
Catmandu::Cmd - A base class for extending the Catmandu command line
SYNOPSIS
# to create a command: $ catmandu hello_world # you need a package: package Catmandu::Cmd::hello_world; use parent 'Catmandu::Cmd'; sub command_opt_spec { ( [ "greeting|g=s", "provide a greeting text" ], ); } sub description { <<EOS; examples: catmandu hello_world --greeting "Hoi" options: EOS } sub command { my ($self, $opts, $args) = @_; my $greeting = $opts->greeting // 'Hello'; print "$greeting, World!\n" } =head1 NAME Catmandu::Cmd::hello_world - prints a funny line =cut
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
