=head1 NAME

App::Cmd::Simple - a helper for building one-command App::Cmd applications

=head1 VERSION

version 0.313

=head1 SYNOPSIS

in F<simplecmd>:

  use YourApp::Cmd;
  Your::Cmd->run;

in F<YourApp/Cmd.pm>:

  package YourApp::Cmd;
  use base qw(App::Cmd::Simple);

  sub opt_spec {
    return (
      [ "blortex|X",  "use the blortex algorithm" ],
      [ "recheck|r",  "recheck all results"       ],
    );
  }

  sub validate_args {
    my ($self, $opt, $args) = @_;

    # no args allowed but options!
    $self->usage_error("No args allowed") if @$args;
  }

  sub execute {
    my ($self, $opt, $args) = @_;

    my $result = $opt->{blortex} ? blortex() : blort();

    recheck($result) if $opt->{recheck};

    print $result;
  }

and, finally, at the command line:

  knight!rjbs$ simplecmd --recheck

  All blorts successful.

=head1 SUBCLASSING

When writing a subclass of App::Cmd:Simple, there are only a few methods that
you might want to implement.  They behave just like the same-named methods in
App::Cmd.

=head2 opt_spec

This method should be overridden to provide option specifications.  (This is
list of arguments passed to C<describe_options> from Getopt::Long::Descriptive,
after the first.)

If not overridden, it returns an empty list.

=head2 validate_args

  $cmd->validate_args(\%opt, \@args);

This method is passed a hashref of command line options (as processed by
Getopt::Long::Descriptive) and an arrayref of leftover arguments.  It may throw
an exception (preferably by calling C<usage_error>) if they are invalid, or it
may do nothing to allow processing to continue.

=head2 execute

  Your::App::Cmd::Simple->execute(\%opt, \@args);

This method does whatever it is the command should do!  It is passed a hash
reference of the parsed command-line options and an array reference of left
over arguments.

=head1 WARNINGS

B<This should be considered experimental!>  Although it is probably not going
to change much, don't build your business model around it yet, okay?

App::Cmd::Simple is not rich in black magic, but it does do some somewhat
gnarly things to make an App::Cmd::Simple look as much like an
App::Cmd::Command as possible.  This means that you can't deviate too much from
the sort of thing shown in the synopsis as you might like.  If you're doing
something other than writing a fairly simple command, and you want to screw
around with the App::Cmd-iness of your program, Simple might not be the best
choice.

B<One specific warning...>  if you are writing a program with the
App::Cmd::Simple class embedded in it, you B<must> call import on the class.
That's how things work.  You can just do this:

  YourApp::Cmd->import->run;
