Just today at YAPC, several CGI::App people met in person and was
saything that something like "catalyst.pl" would be nice for CGI::App.
Then Perrin mentioned it would be nice to have a Module::Starter plugin
for CGI::App. As I (belatedly) just discovered today, we already have
one!
Module::Starter::Plugin::CGIApp is on CPAN now.
It could be a little clearer how to use it. Here's an example that
worked for me:
MODULE_TEMPLATE_DIR=/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Module/Starter/Plugin/CGIApp/templates/
module-starter --plugin Module::Starter::Simple --plugin
Module::Starter::Plugin::Template --plugin Module::Starter::Plugin::CGIApp
--module=MyApp --author=markstos [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is a nice start, but could be improved in a couple way:
- The default template directory should work automatically.
- "--template_dir" should work as alternative to the env variable,
- The plugins shouldn't have to be named.
Then, if my author and e-mail are in a config file as the should be,
that leaves only one argument left: the module name.
In summary, this should be possible:
cgi-app.pl MyApp
It would also be nice if Module::Starter prompted the user for the
author in the e-mail if they aren't present, rather than just exiting
with an error. ( I realize that's not a deficiency of this plugin. )
