DESCRIPTION

Plack::Handler::CLI is a PSGI handler which provides a command line interface for PSGI applications.

INTERFACE

Plack::Handler::CLI->new(%options)

Creates a Plack handler that implements a command line interface.

PSGI headers will be printed by default, but you can suppress them by need_headers => 0.

$cli->run(\&psgi_app, @argv) : Void

Runs &psgi_app with @argv.

"--key" => "value" (or "--key=value") pairs in @argv are packed into QUERY_STRING, while any other arguments are packed into PATH_INFO, so &psgi_app can get command line arguments as PSGI parameters. The first element of @argv after the query parameters could also be a absolute URL.

DEPENDENCIES

Perl 5.8.1 or later.
