# Poet::Script(3pm)

## NAME

Poet::Script -- Intialize Poet for a script

## SYNOPSIS

```
    # In a script...
    use Poet::Script qw($cache $conf $poet $log :file);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module is used to initialize Poet for a script. It does the following:

- •

  Determines the environment root by looking upwards from the directory of the current script until it finds the Poet marker file (`".poet_root"`).

- •

  Reads and parses configuration files.

- •

  Shifts the `"lib/"` subdirectory of the environment root onto `@INC`.

- •

  Imports the specified *quick vars* and utility sets into the current package - see Poet::Import.
