DESCRIPTION

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.
