Overview
"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. Note that the "--ignores" command line parameter corresponds to the "ignores_type" configuration file entry. A sample configuration file might read:
author: Ricardo SIGNESemail: [email protected]ignores_type: gitplugins: Module::Starter::Simple Module::Starter::Plugin::XYZxyz_option: red green blue
This format may become more elaborate in the future, but a file of this type should remain valid.
