# ABSTRACT: helper for setting up App::Cmd classes
#pod =head1 OVERVIEW
#pod
#pod App::Cmd::Setup is a helper library, used to set up base classes that will be
#pod used as part of an App::Cmd program. For the most part you should refer to
#pod L<the tutorial|App::Cmd::Tutorial> for how you should use this library.
#pod
#pod This class is useful in three scenarios:
#pod
#pod =begin :list
#pod
#pod = when writing your App::Cmd subclass
#pod
#pod Instead of writing:
#pod
#pod package MyApp;
#pod use parent 'App::Cmd';
#pod
#pod ...you can write:
#pod
#pod package MyApp;
#pod use App::Cmd::Setup -app;
#pod
#pod The benefits of doing this are mostly minor, and relate to sanity-checking your
#pod class. The significant benefit is that this form allows you to specify
#pod plugins, as in:
#pod
#pod package MyApp;
#pod use App::Cmd::Setup -app => { plugins => [ 'Prompt' ] };
#pod
#pod Plugins are described in L<App::Cmd::Tutorial>.
#pod
#pod Doing this also allows you to override the default configuration passed to
#pod L<Getopt::Long>. By default, this configuration includes C<pass_through>,
#pod which allows subdispatch to work correctly. If you are not using subdispatch,
#pod and want your command to exit on unknown options, you can say:
#pod
#pod package MyApp;
#pod use App::Cmd::Setup -app => { getopt_conf => [] };
#pod
#pod = when writing abstract base classes for commands
#pod
#pod That is: when you write a subclass of L<App::Cmd::Command> that is intended for
#pod other commands to use as their base class, you should use App::Cmd::Setup. For
#pod example, if you want all the commands in MyApp to inherit from MyApp::Command,
#pod you may want to write that package like this:
#pod
#pod package MyApp::Command;
#pod use App::Cmd::Setup -command;
#pod
#pod Do not confuse this with the way you will write specific commands:
#pod
#pod package MyApp::Command::mycmd;
#pod use MyApp -command;
#pod
#pod Again, this form mostly performs some validation and setup behind the scenes
#pod for you. You can use C<L<base>> if you prefer.
#pod
#pod = when writing App::Cmd plugins
#pod
#pod L<App::Cmd::Plugin> is a mechanism that allows an App::Cmd class to inject code
#pod into all its command classes, providing them with utility routines.
#pod
#pod To write a plugin, you must use App::Cmd::Setup. As seen above, you must also
#pod use App::Cmd::Setup to set up your App::Cmd subclass if you wish to consume
#pod plugins.
#pod
#pod For more information on writing plugins, see L<App::Cmd::Manual> and
#pod L<App::Cmd::Plugin>.

=head1 PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should
work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to
lower the minimum required perl.
