DESCRIPTION

Set up the skeleton of a CGI::Application-based project, including a module, some templates and some automated tests.

By default the skeleton files will come within the templates/ directory where Module::Starter::Plugin::CGIApp is stored.

Multiple --builder options may be supplied to produce the files for multiple builders.

CONFIGURATION

You may set new defaults in a config file:

author: Mark Stosberg
email: mark@summersault.com
template_dir: ~/.module-starter/cgiapp/templates

cgiapp-starter will look for a configuration file before reading its command line parameters. The default location is $HOME/.module-starter/config but if the MODULE_STARTER_DIR environment variable is set, cgiapp-starter will look for config in that directory.

The configuration file is just a list of names and values, separated by colons. Values that take lists are just space separated. A sample configuration file might read:

author: Ricardo SIGNES
email:  rjbs@cpan.org
plugins: Module::Starter::Simple Module::Starter::Plugin::XYZ
xyz_option: red green blue

This format may become more elaborate in the future, but a file of this type should remain valid.
