60 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
61 | |
4be535b1 |
62 | The C<catalyst.pl> script bootstraps a Catalyst application, creating a |
63 | directory structure populated with skeleton files. |
64 | |
65 | The application name must be a valid Perl module name. The name of the |
66 | directory created is formed from the application name supplied, with double |
67 | colons replaced with hyphens (so, for example, the directory for C<My::App> is |
68 | C<My-App>). |
69 | |
70 | Using the example application name C<My::App>, the application directory will |
71 | contain the following items: |
72 | |
73 | =over 4 |
74 | |
75 | =item README |
76 | |
77 | a skeleton README file, which you are encouraged to expand on |
78 | |
4be535b1 |
79 | =item Changes |
80 | |
81 | a changes file with an initial entry for the creation of the application |
82 | |
83 | =item Makefile.PL |
84 | |
b1882228 |
85 | Makefile.PL uses the C<Module::Install> system for packaging and distribution |
86 | of the application. |
4be535b1 |
87 | |
88 | =item lib |
89 | |
90 | contains the application module (C<My/App.pm>) and |
91 | subdirectories for model, view, and controller components (C<My/App/M>, |
92 | C<My/App/V>, and C<My/App/C>). |
93 | |
94 | =item root |
95 | |
96 | root directory for your web document content. This is left empty. |
97 | |
98 | =item script |
99 | |
100 | a directory containing helper scripts: |
101 | |
102 | =over 4 |
103 | |
b1882228 |
104 | =item C<myapp_create.pl> |
4be535b1 |
105 | |
106 | helper script to generate new component modules |
107 | |
b1882228 |
108 | =item C<myapp_server.pl> |
4be535b1 |
109 | |
110 | runs the generated application within a Catalyst test server, which can be |
111 | used for testing without resorting to a full-blown web server configuration. |
112 | |
b1882228 |
113 | =item C<myapp_cgi.pl> |
4be535b1 |
114 | |
115 | runs the generated application as a CGI script |
116 | |
b1882228 |
117 | =item C<myapp_fastcgi.pl> |
4be535b1 |
118 | |
119 | runs the generated application as a FastCGI script |
120 | |
b1882228 |
121 | =item C<myapp_test.pl> |
4be535b1 |
122 | |
123 | runs an action of the generated application from the comand line. |
124 | |
125 | =back |
126 | |
127 | =item t |
128 | |
129 | test directory |
130 | |
131 | =back |
132 | |
133 | |
134 | The application module generated by the C<catalyst.pl> script is functional, |
1c773d18 |
135 | although it reacts to all requests by outputting a friendly welcome screen. |
4be535b1 |
136 | |
137 | |
138 | =head1 NOTE |
139 | |
140 | Neither C<catalyst.pl> nor the generated helper script will overwrite existing |
141 | files. In fact the scripts will generate new versions of any existing files, |
142 | adding the extension C<.new> to the filename. The C<.new> file is not created |
143 | if would be identical to the existing file. |
144 | |
145 | This means you can re-run the scripts for example to see if newer versions of |
146 | Catalyst or its plugins generate different code, or to see how you may have |
147 | changed the generated code (although you do of course have all your code in a |
148 | version control system anyway, don't you ...). |
