DESCRIPTION
"module-starter" is a command-line interface to Module::Starter, which
it uses to perform all the work of creating distributions. An
alternate backend for "module-starter" can be specified with the
"--class" option. Plugins to the standard Module::Starter module can
be specified with one or more "--plugin" options.
If no directory name is supplied, the distribution name will be used
for the directory. If no distribution name is supplied, the first
listed module name will be used as the distribution name.
Multiple --builder options may be supplied to produce the files for
multiple builders.
CONFIGURATIONmodule-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, module-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.
