Review: libcli-simple-perl 2.0.3-1

Package Information

DescriptionSimple OO base class for Perl CLI applications

CLI::Simple provides a standard, simple way to create a Perl script that takes options, commands and arguments. It also configures Log4perl.

It is ideal for: internal tools and admin scripts, CLIs where you don't want a framework, and if you want to subclass a clean, minimal interface.

For more advanced features, look at something like App::Cmd (libapp-cmd-perl), CLI::Framework (libcli-framework-perl) or MooX::Options (libmoox-options-perl).
