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.
CONFIGURATION
module-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.
